Ostler 8.1

Can anybody tell me what the 8.1 or (8.1) means after the occupation Ostler. I have found it on an 1881 Census image and on various online trees in census transcripts but cannot find out what it signifies.

It is just the way the enumerator classified an occupation for ease of collating statistics. It isn't significant to your relative.

Thanks OC. I should have asked here first rather than spending time Googling.
