It looks a bit like Good Brother, but the second o in good doesn't look right so probably not an o, and there seems to be a full stop after "good" so it may be an abbreviated word. I can't think what kind of brother would start with a G though ....

Thanks Russkie I just googled some census terms and finally found  good brother means brother in-law 
That’s a new one for me.
Many thanks

Glad you have sorted it. I haven't heard that one before either.

It's fairly normal Scottish dialect - within recent memory, if not nowadays.

"Gude-brither" means brother-in-law according to the Scots dictionary, and I have certainly heard my grandparents (born in the 1870s) use the term.

Just googled and found out a bit more about the term. I also discovered that I had heard it before on a previous rootschat thread.

Good brother, still used in the villages NE of Glasgow & no doubt further afield. First time I heard it from a workmate I thought the other/s must be b-------s! 

Skoosh.
