Please could someone tell me what they think Christopher's occupation is:

1841 Census
TOOBY, Christopher
CAMBRIDGE, Cambridgeshire
HO107 piece 85 folio 13 page 20

He's in the right-hand column.

Supervisor of something. For anyone having trouble finding him on ancestry, he is listed as Looby on there.

The other word is Excise, but I cheated by looking at the 1851 entry!

Lol, Merry! I'm one step behind you as I have just found him!

This is my brother-in-law's family.
