Wife's occupation in 1861

[brigidmac]

Can anyone read what is the profession of the wife please

In 1851 and 1871 the husband was a carpenter here I think he.s classed as a builder master ? Employing 1 man 1
boy

Eldest daughter is an assistant teacher in 1871

Could the wife be some kind of teacher too
Looks like first word could be bible but last word looks more like breaker than teacher

Thank you I can read it now

She was managing to preach and parent 5 children ...

 And they did have connections to cornwall

Could I also ask what you make of the husband's profession

He is a carpenter in other censuses

Here he is builder ...I'm not sure if middle word is master
Is last words seem to be 1 man 1 boy

[Davedrave]

I think it says, as you suggest, “Builder Master [employing] 1 Man 1 Boy”
