    It reads as "Farmer in Canada on visit".

    This could be him arriving at Liverpool on the Empress of Britain on 25 November 1910 shown as a farmer.


    This looks like him returning to Canada onboard the Megantic,arriving Portland,Maine on the 24 April 1911,again shown as a farmer.

          The enumerator seems to have altered the form, he's changed the number of males in the household as well. I wonder if he saw the bit about being a farmer in Canada and thought the head of the household had misunderstood and put him on the form even though he wasn't in the country. If so the enumerator was wrong as Arthur must have been there- it was him who signed the form.

            HI judithM
            It is a strange one noted that arthur had signed form but then wondered why his name had been lined through
