1861 Census Occupation

[Clarkey500]

Hello,

I was hoping some keen-eyed people may be able to help me.

I have come across the attached occupation for Jacob Theobalds on the 1861 Census. He is living in Watchfield, Berkshire. Piece: 727; Folio: 26a; Page 9.
Ancestry link: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discoveryui-content/view/8195959:8767

The first part is 'Ag. lab' which is fairly standard.

The next three words are proving a problem. They look like: Fuir he meoh
The first letter looks like the F the enumerator writes a few pages along.

The final two words look to be 'local preacher'.

Has anyone got any ideas for the middle 3 words?

Possibly
Prim.ve Meth.d Local Preacher
(Primitive Methodist)

I hadn't thought of that - thank you. That would make sense - I can see that now.

Originally, I had thought it started with a P before being side-tracked by seeing a similarly formed F and a different P. However, the enumerator does seem to vary other letters.

meant to say I think the character before Prim.ve is an ampersand, so
 Ag Lab & Primitive Methodist Local Preacher

Apparently the primitives congregated at Thomas Carter house in pre 1861

Thank you! That's very interesting.

Have a search on the google books webpage:~  it sometimes brings interesting or unknown stuff which leads on to stepping stones to new leads on any ancestry genealogical research.
