  • Help with occupation on census please

    Hi all,
    I am having trouble reading Benjamin Down's occupation, I would be grateful if someone else could have a look and tell me what they think please.
    1861 Census- Class: RG9; Piece: 510; Folio: 126; Page: 17
    Thank you

    Looks like Grazier. Same in the 1871.

        Looks that he may have lost some of his fields to the railway. See London Gazette bottom right of the page.
