What does this read as

[wilcoxon]

 This occupation  is from 1891 Toxteth. Liverpool. It`s quite clear but what is it ?

In other records he is on the docks.
1881 dock porter
1901 general warehouse porter

Late at night here, in NSW Australia, but to me, at first glance,

"Meat Taken Meter" ..... as though he records the meat that has been taken.....

Looking forward to reading the actual transcription in around ten hours from now.


Cheers,  JM  (Temp has finally dropped down to 23 degrees C, here at Nords Wharf, 11:10 pm, tomorrow forecasting 30 degrees here, but that's because we are coastal.  The rest of the continent seems to be expecting nothing less than 40 degrees).

I'm not sure that the first letter is an M, it isn't the same as the M in Meter. Looks more like an N ie Neat, but it doesn't make any sense!

Nail? Or could begin with a W - i dont have access to the census so have nothing to compare the letters with.
Could it be weight spelt as wait?

[groom]

Can you give us his name or the reference so we can look at other letters on the same page?

[ev]

Would need to compare with other letters on the page I would think 

Could the middle word be Salter ?

RG12/ 2932; Folio: 24; Page: 42

Definitely starts with a W then Taker Meter.  Could be a mispelling of Weight 

Mo

The last word is not as dark as first two.

The last word could have been added by a clerk in the census office categorising occupations.
