Help with occupation on 1901 census, please

[Elizabeth Herts]

On the 1901 census I have

Albert Rothwell

RG13; 618; 102; 21

He is the second person on the page.

Can anyone tell me what his occupation is? OH and I have been puzzling over it but haven't come to any conclusions.

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

I wonder if the enumerator began with one word and finished off with another? The TNA says plumber, which it isn't!! Starts with PL though lolol

[Elaine ..Spain]

Findmypast has it transcribed as Plumber

[Elizabeth Herts]

Many thanks, Merry and Elaine.

Whatever it is, I don't think the enumerator has spelt it correctly!

[Uncle John]

Well it's not plumber, cos the Plasterer two doors down is spelt with a clear capital P.

Sorry, take that back. There's a parlourmaid and a painter both with a small p.

The final letter ends with a swirl that's nothing like any of the final r's on the page.

What strikes me is the variety of occupations for what is still (or was in 1963/4 when I was last there!) a tiny village.

Plumber, the slanted letter towards the end is a later addition, I think
