David, it is possibly a mistranscription. Where was it recorded?
If on a census I can take a look at the original image for you.

either 1891 or 1901 census, we wondered if it was connected to a slaughter house work

Stephen the father is a Leather Currier on the 1891 and a Currier on the 1901.
I think the female is an error, the age had been recorded in the female column then crossed through and inserted in the male column, however, female was incorrectly written before the occupation.

His occupation is General Labourer on both the 1891 and 1901 census.
