Occupation in 1901?

Could someone with sharper eyes than mine please check the Ancestry 1901
census for the occupations of:
Emily Davis 20 Born Blandford, Dorset
& George Davis 14 Blandford, Dorset

Both are living with their mother Anna Davis at 64 Orchard St, Blandford,
Dorset.

The 1901 census site shows Emily as being a Grave Digger. That's not what
it looks like to me and I find it hard to beieve that a 20 year old girl
would have a job like that.

Possibly Glove cle(a)ner

Many thanks to all who checked this out for me. I am so glad to see that
she was most likely in the glove trade and not a grave digger. It did seem
highly unlikely.

I actually should have said "Occupations" as I am a little confused also
about her brother's job. It seems to say 'Candidate for pupil teacher'. Am

Sounds OK. He had been put forward by his schoolmaster as a bright lad,
and was hoping to get some tr. At first, (early C19) it was likely to be
working on the job teaching younger children basics, with a bit of extra
tuition in geography or simple science or whatever the local head master
was able to give.
Then (mid C19) the lad would go to a Normal College -at first only for
a few weeks, then (later C19) six months in Training Centre, if there
was a local one, , then a year, away from home if need be, then (C20)
two years full training, plus stints of at least a year's practical
teaching in a school. . The end product was a certificate of
proficiency, and some years of practical experience - certificated
teachers were paid more (and the schools got a larger grant for
employing them.) The first step in all this was to get accepted as a
pupil teacher.

I reading this correctly?

Once again, thank you for all the help,

The occupation is very probably Glove CLICKER. The term clicker
applies to various trades, i.e. shoemaking, printing and the
textile/clothing industry. In the latter it was someone who made up
the garment from the various parts. The first word is undoubtedly
"glove" and the second word certainly begins with "cl". It's not
cleaner, though - and the term that fits mosy easily is "clicker".

There was a glove-making factory at Blandford in the 19th century
and probably it was still in existence in 1901.

I think it says Glove liner.

Having looked again, I think you are right Pat. The "c" is a lighter
grey and just part of the later under-marking of the word "glove". There

Whether it's glove liner or glove clicker, the consensus is very
clearly that she worked in the glove-making industry and certainly
wasn't digging graves!
