Can anyone make out the occupation of the younger Joseph Towriss on the 1901 census, please. I can read 'railway coy's', but not the final word.

Roof sheeter? Seems the enumerator has added his interpretation of occupation.

Yes, I read the original word as "sheeter" too.

Sheeter? Apparently it can mean a roofer and the word written over it could possibly be Roof although I thought it said Proof at first.

Thanks for the suggestions - it does look like 'sheeter'.
