Looked again...
Maybe it is Iron Fonders agent, as Glitter suggests.

Lots of ironworks in Monmouthshire.

thanks everyone i thougth i t was just me needing a new pair of glasses. so if he was a ship brokers clark in 1861 i wonder if that had anything to do with susan being born in americas. is there any site i could look at to see if ther are any immigration records. ?
so i think i will go with a non ****** agent for the 1851 census
thanks for all your help

Ooh, that's a bit of a toughie! Three words, but I think the last one is "Agent".

Working on the basis that the 1861 Census has him listed as a "Ship Broker's Clark", I would imagine he may have been doing something along the same lines.

Good hunting, though!

Iron (something) agent perhaps

My first thought was Iron Foundaries Agent but then the spelling of the second word would be wrong
