Hi Pam Had a look at the image and it says Assistant(written with f for first s,in the old fashioned way)in the relationship column,there is nothing in the Occupation column.As the family he was with was headed by a Grocer and Tea dealer I would think that basically he was a shop assistant. Hope this helps Mary

Looks like image actually says relation to head - Assistant. Head of household is a grocer/tea dealer. Angela
