No 4 Grade - Assistant ? F--man

K.Armstrong

No 4 Grade - Assistant Foreman?

Tim Lidbetter

Can'tb think of anything more likely, although it doesn't look very like "fore" !

Scrumpy Geoff

I think it is probably a misspelling of foreman although there is an Edward Price Evans born in Radnorshire but living in Leicester whose occupation in the 1911 census is given as "railway fouman" but again I suspect a spelling error. I suggest transcribe as fouman [foreman]
