   In my experience, it's not unusual for the enumerator to "clarify" an   
   occupation.  Whether statistics were gathered from the earlier censuses   
   that required some standardisation of occupation names I don't know.   
      
   One example which springs immediately to mind because I have seen it   
   very recently was where "domestic" was inserted before "Coachman".
