Occupation: Chevener
I have just come across this occupation for a woman on the 1841 census in Nottingham and had no idea what it meant. Apparently it was someone who embroidered hosiery (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/chevener). That makes sense to me now given that we are talking about Nottingham and she was living in a family of framework knitters.
