Can you read this occupation?

[Old Bristolian]

I wonder if anyone can help with the occupation of John Marsh on this 1861 Census image? I think I can make out all the letters, but can't find anything to indicate what job is described. If you would like to see more of the page, the reference is RG9/3520 f79 p2 and the abode is Doncaster,

Looks like 'Hanger' to me? Paper hanger?

Romilly.

I see 'Hanger' too although strange there's no indication to 'Paper' or anything else for that matter

Does John have an occupation (which ties in) on later census', marriage, birth/marriage of children or death?

I don't see that first letter as an H.

It looks very much like the S of Scholar of others on the same page.

But can't work out what it could say

Carol,

Sorry but I haven't seen the original with others to comment.

OB or Carol?...

Is it possible to post more of the doc. for letter comparison please?

I'm with Carol I see it starting with an S looks like the S in Son.

But can't seem to find an occupation that would make any sense.

Looks like Sear ger --- but that doesn't make sense though. Could almost be 2 separate words with the little gap after the 'r'.

[Rosinish]

Thanks 3SD,

May be 'Searger/Serger' (known as overlocking), to do with sewing material together?

I don't know when sewing machines were made although admit to being a trained Sewing Machinist to trade.

Crossed posts Pennines but looks as though we may be on the trail?
