Hi
I don't want to rain on your parade, but could he have been a labourer for the Council?

'Labour Urban District Council'.. is a bit ambiguous and since the Labour Party was only just getting going it seems a bit odd to me it would have been listed as an occupation in that way.
What was he doing in 1901?
