Strange with that occupation;
On the 1911 census William is Pig Wheigher
On the 1901 Census William is Pig iron wheeler and father Philip is Pig iron Weigher!!
The iron bit dies help explain it better!

We had a bit of a discussion at the Archives about this one. It definitely looked like wheeler, but I thought it had something to do with pig iron rather than the farmyard variety. Couldn't really see someone wheeling pigs.
