Can't read occupation
« on: Friday 30 September 16 15:09 BST (UK) »
I can't make out what the occupation is in this entry in the 1901 census. He was a 17 year old living in Chesterfield if that helps.

I concur with everyone. What were the occupations of the other members of his family? If he was living with his family. Normally its like father like son.

His father worked in a workhouse, formerly a coal miner. Overall the family didn't have a common theme in terms of occupation.
