No matter which way I look at it I cannot decipher the occupation of my ancestor on the 1871 census. His name was Andrew Dwyer it looks like labourer at ..... works, On the 1891 census he was a gas stoker, but the illegibe word on the 1871 looks too long to be Gas.

I also cannot read his address on the 1871 census no matter which way I look at it.

Andrew was maried to Susan :-S
