Cant make out the occupation?
« on: Friday 18 November 22 12:43 GMT (UK) »
Hi, hope that someone can help me understand what this occupation is meant to be.
Its from the 1901 census, does it say 'printer'?
Thanks in advance for any help  :)

I'd go with "Printer"
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.

'Printer'
An uncrossed 't' at the end.

I agree, printer.  In 1911 he has changed his occupation to Barman in a public house.  Same man as he has his full name of Cyrus Ridley Wilson on the original.
