What are your thoughts?

Can you give more clues, such as age  and town and gender and education, please?

Hi,
Could it be Tripe Dresser? I think that was an occupation, something to do with butchery.

It sure looks like Tripe Dresser.  Found this interesting site re occupations found on census returns
http://www.worldthroughthelens.com/family-history/old-occupations.php
It says Tripe Dresser is "metonymic occupational name for a butcher or tripe dresser from Middle English."
