It's weaver. The second word is a comment from the enumerator and it says wool. Janice

Thanks so much. While I was browsing just now I found that the village they lived in had a small weaving factory at about that time. It didn't last long as the village was too far away from good transport etc., and the factory was closed down. Thanks again for your help Linda
