On the birth certificate what was the occupation given for John H? Also, what was the address? Thanks

Unfortunately I only have a copy of the short certificate so there are no details on father or the address

This is a bit of a long shot but, given that Janet remarried, it 'might ' be a possible, as children born after the father died could still have been reg in his name?
