What is this occupation, please?

[Treetotal]

Flower Winder?

              Cone winder Winding Room Takes thread from hanks (from spinning)
and winds onto cardboard bobbins
forming a cone of thread.

I still agree with Matthew.
The darker lines are made later - perhaps checking the census thus leaving the word 'Cone'.
I favoured it because I know it was an occupation from the cotton mills - and we had a lot of them around here.
Tomkin has given the occupation description.

  Could also be Throw Winder as in Silk Mills.

         Silk throwing is the process where the filament from the bobbins is given its full twist. The process where filaments or threads from three or more bobbins are wound together is called doubling.

                 Just a guess.

[heywood]

Mmm....

We need Polly to come back soon 

[tomkin]

  Polly, can you show us more of the census.

      It will show how the corrections have be made.

          Also other members of the family may work at the same place.

            This could identify the type of industry.

              I'm with Matthew and Heywood.

Thank you so much, everyone, for your replies!

The area this is from is St Margarets in Leicestershire.  I don't know if that helps or not?

Thanks again 

[Polly007]

Hi again

Here is the whole household 

[heywood]

Well it's very difficult  and am not as positive now.

Here is the reference - it took a while to find her!
