Edward Florence aged 30 with wife Johannah and children.

What is his occupation?

??? Grinders Cutler?

in 1881 he's a Fellmonger, a dealer in hides and skins

Scissors Grinder, then they have written in the classification for that occupation in a different hand when it was being processed (I think it is Cutter but perhaps Cutler.)

Is it a bad spelling of Scissors?
