Possibly Cabman or Carman difficult to tell with the lines through if I was to guess I would go for Carman (CARMAN See CARRIER. CARRIER A person who drove a vehicle used to transport goods. taken from http://homepage.ntlworld.com/hitch/gendocs/trades.html#C) given the word Rubbish written in brackets by the enumerator.

Interesting that we saw two completely different words when looking at the same record, just shows how fun this hobby can be
