What are the occupations?

What is Edward's occupation please?

I see:
James Edwards - Labourer (is this correct?)
Edward - ????
Thomas - Shoe Maker

Which census was this and where, please? A view on another website might be clearer.

Can you give us the census ref or details of where we can find the page, as another transcription may be clearer to read - thanks

Edit - Snap Jan

Sorry, this is 1841 on Ancestry. I will have a look on Find My Past

This one is from Find My Past and one from My Heritage. I now think Thomas says Mechanic and not shoemaker lol (would a 14 year old be a mechanic or even a shoemaker?)

The first word looks like Joiner. Could the second one be 'Ap' - short for apprentice?

 

[MollyMay]

I would agree joiner but thought the second was ditto (look at the surnames column) so joiner labourer

Thank you. Not sure....if so, likely not the person I was looking for.
I am going down a rabbit hole here. I may have to post something another day about who I am looking for to see if anyone can give me pointers on where to go.

edit - I have been decorating today and I am already yawning. Not as young as I used to be

Yes, I see what you mean.
