Deciphering occupation

[282daniel282]

Hi, I need some help deciphering the term under the occupation column for 8-year old Jane, third row down. I've got cr__low. Any ideas on what the mark through the occupation means will be welcomed too.

My feeling is that the word relates to the Deputy Overman beneath, not Jane.
Still don’t know what it says though.

I think it is Deputy Below Overman.

The mark is a tally mark by the person collecting the data from that page for the census statistics.

I agree with BELOW referring to the occupation of the man on the next line.
This “ below” is used again in the same manner 11 lines lower on the same page.

'Below' was typically added by clerks in the census office to distinguish between miners working underground and those working on the surface.

Thanks, that's that sorted.
