OCCUPATION: Rough rider [not listed in options]. Unclear what this is. Riders were commercial travellers. Riding Officer is the old fashioned term for an armed horse-mounted Customs officer. They patrolled to apprehend smugglers who imported goods to avoid paying taxes, according to the "Dictionary of Old Occupations" on the "Family Researcher" site at https://www.familyresearcher.co.uk/default.html Drawing on more recent times, it could be to do with breaking in horses (or rodeo - riding rough stock), but it's not a term listed in any references I have found for old occupations.
