Jess, you clever cloggs lol. Why couldn't I do that?!!
In a later census the person I am looking for is the wife of a marine diver... any chance they could be related jobs?

That's what I was hoping for, but didn't want to sway anyones interpretation of it. Not that it makes much sense.

Only that have a few a few marine engineers within my own family tree and they are always referred to as Mariners. Marinerwas a favourite word used in this context.
If you look carefully at the word it is "iner" at the end of the word with the dot over the i a little to the right of the i, so if you take the first couple of letters the first letter looks like a capital M and that just leaves the next two letters which are rather difficult to read but could be a disjointed a which is wrapped into the r! Hope this makes some sense!
It looks like 'wife of an engineer of a steamer' to me. I did look at it before looking at the answers! :p
I'm sorry to say I don't think steamer engineer and marine diver are that closely linked. On the other hand they are both to do with the sea and ships so who knows!
There is an i with a dot and I have not seen the word steamer ever spelt with an i. The word wife also has an i with a dot which is in the same position. The n after the i is written the same as the n in engineer.
In fact the end of engineer ie "ineer" looks almost identical to the end of the word which appears to me to end "iner" except that the writer seems to have swallowed the second e in engineer!

That's the trouble with FH we get biased towards our own and mine are all mariners!!:D
Apart from the fact that "engineer of a mariner" doesn't make sense, I definitely think it says Steamer - what looks like a dot is probably just a mark on the page. Is there another capital S or St that you can compare the beginning of the word with?
