What is this occupation, please?

[Polly007]

Hi

This is the occupation of a 15 year old girl in 1891.  Does anyone know what it says, please?

Thank you so much

Welcome Polly,

Tricky with the line through the beginning of the word isn't it. 

? ?   Winder . . . been looking up old occupations and can't see what would fit. 

Looks like Flow  - don't know what that would be though.  Might be something to do with winding thread onto spools in a weaving mill.   Don't know though.

Red post - ah ha!   That's a thought Rosie!  Though I can't see the 'G'

Cone Winder?

That's what I think too.

Cone Winder?

But there's an " l " in it?

What part of the country are we looking at? That might help.

I’ll vote with Rosie for Glove Winder. There is a faint loop at the top, making the letter look like a 9, which was a variation of a g without a loop at the bottom used by some writers.

I think that what does look like an "l" is actually a capital "C", it being the first letter of the word and the darker stroke before it being part of the line crossing through
