Hi, yes, he was a tailor and his father George (deceased) was a servant

Anthony Beal was also deceased and looks like something like a Fuller which if correct is described online as

One who "fulls" cloth; the process of cleaning (removing the natural oils and lanolin) wool in preparation for spinning and weaving, using fuller's earth.

By the transcription of this record on Ancestry someone has made the comment that Albert Harry should be Herbert Harry they say the original record was incorrect. Might be worth looking for a Herbert.

1881 has Russell family with a Herbert H but wrong age

Its AlBERT and HerBERT that seem to have got confused, could simply be that the enumerator read Herbert on householder form, but accidentally wrote Albert on the enumerator's form.
