What does the 1912 death cert say was the man's occupation?

Yes it's complicated it haha. I need some time to go through it all again. Which site are you using to find these details?

In my last post, the 1881 census is from Ancestry, the children's births from GRO, and the parents' marriage from FreeBMD
