What does this say for profession?

[BouvierBouvierDog]

Hello!

I'm trying to decipher what a ship passenger list says the profession of my great grandfather was; However, I'm struggling. The record is of a ship that sailed from England to the United States in the early 1900's.

Any help would be dearly appreciated!

Cigars
Cigarette roller ?

Not too sure about "roller".

Cigarette mkr?

Cigarette mkr?

That is far more promising than my initial thoughts of cigarette "roller".

[AlanBoyd]

or mfr, for manufacturer?

Before reading the other replies I thought the occupation was  “Cigarette Mkr” which presumably means Maker, but may be Manufacturer.

Depending on dates and events, I would check his occupation in the next American census or in the births/marriages of his children, if there were any and if that information was recorded. Even deaths?

I would also look at the England census 1911, 1901, 1891 etc. his occupation on any or all of those will probably help you decide if he was the boss = Manufacturer or the worker = Maker.

Cigarette mkr?

Is it cigars - cigarette Inds (industries) and I think cigars / cigarette could be written by different people with cigarette added later with darker ink  no 'dot' over the 'I' the ' g's ' look different and the ' R's '

 cigars - cigarette maker seems most likely though
