unrecognisable occupation on 1901 census
« on: Friday 01 February 13 14:29 GMT (UK) »
I am having difficulty working out the occupation of my 3X great grandfather Robert Roberts on the 1901 census. I think it says Temper ................  I am trying to prove that he died due to an accident that happened in 1904. I found a burial record for him in Denbigh in 1904 and next to the entry it says Coroner's order. I did have a quick look in the archives when I was home last year for any newspaper report at the time and I know there was one there but I have to prove it's for my ancestor. Here's what I have
1901
Robert Roberts b 1844 c   born Cyffylliog on this census.
He is living with his wife Jane Roberts at 12 Brookhouse, Llanrhaiadr RG13/5231 page 5

I can't remember all the newspaper details as I wasn't sure if it does relate to me but if anyone can work out what his occupation is it might help.
There aren't many deaths for Robert Roberts in the Ruthin area between 1901 and 1911, as Jane is classed as a widow on the 1911 census.
If I can understand what his occupation was in 1901 and tie it in with the accident then it will be worth my while sending for any certificates.
Any help would be great.
 Thank you
Kind regards

Had Robert been married previously?

Possibly, Is there any clue in that previous pages all seem to be agriculturally based occupations
