Help reading an Occupation

[Elma]

Can anyone help me read the occupation of Emma Clarke? All suggestions welcome. Thank you

Hi Amle - which census was this, please? Do you have the reference? That way, those with access can compare the writing with other entries.

Thanks

FMP has it as 'tailoress' - could the line through the 'l' and what appears to be an 'r' over the last 's' be marks made by the enumerator when doing the totals etc?

Looks like tailoress to me - very similar to the one two lines below. I expect all the little ticks made by the enumerator make it appear as if it could be something else.

I agree

I too believe it is tailoress

Thank you everyone. Tailoress it is then. It is the only occupation ever recorded for Emma so I thought I must see other's opinions.
