"Graziers Serv", possibly.  Though is does look more like "son" than "serv".

Grazers son is a good shout. Annoyingly I cannot fiend their father in the 1851 census but in 1861 he's described as "Farmer of 33 acres".

BTW His details are Jeremiah Weal b 1798 in Stanford Rivers, Essex if anyone wants to have a go at finding him...

Their father Jeremiah is a grazier in the 1881, so I think "graziers sons" is correct.

Is this Jeremiah on the 1851 - a coachman at the house of the Rector of Belton. (widowed, aged 52, born Stanford Rivers)
HO107/2093/22 pg 8

Modified to add:
transcribed as Jeremiah WEAR on Ancestry

I see he was a "grazier" on his marriage to Charlotte ROBINSON in 1856

Looks as though Jeremiah remarried in 1856. His occupation at the time of this marriage is "grazier"
