31 December 1835 William KEAR of Hundred of St Briavels married Eliza PRIEST of Hundred of St Briavels by Banns at Hewesfield.

Checked both images and I'm sure the occupation box is clear in both cases :-
1901
Delia Coombs abt 1855 Clements End, Gloucestershire, England Wife [No occupation] West Dean Monmouthshire
1891
Delcia Coombs abt 1853 Clement End, Gloucestershire, England Wife [No occupation] West Dean Gloucestershire
Public worker suggests someone working for the Parish or Workhouse.
The Salvation Army evolved in the period 1865 - 1880 from Booths methodist Missions in East London
