Hello Jan,

That’s a curly one. Exactly what sort of document did you find it on and what were the year and the location?

Could it be Picture Framer?

Hi Jan,

As the 1881 census images are now online at ScotlandsPeople, you should be able to see the original for yourself, and get past Ancestry's transcription problems.

All the best,

Guess

My guess without seeing the census image would be Message Boy Picture Framers
Searching for Keogh, Kelly, Fitzgerald, Riddell, Stewart, Wilson, McQuilkin, Lynch, Boyle, Cairney, Ross, King, McIlravey, McCurdy, Drennan and Woods (to name but a few).

Also looking for any information on Rathlin Island, County Antrim, Ireland.

The 1881 census discs have him as Message Boy Picture Framer right enough.
