There are no trams in Shetland - whether Yell or Unst. Also, the tail at the end of that word suggests it would end with a 'g' or a 'y'. I favour Training or Trimming. The word that really has me stumped, and also I suspect is also the key to the puzzle, is the "Cond" word.

Ohhhh, conductor of a tram car!

On the LDS 1881 disc James Moar 23 if transcribed  as Formerly Cond Trung Car and his handicap is imbecile and on Ancestry it is transcribed as Formerly Cond Tram car.. Is it possible that he moved away for work, had a breakdown, hence former occupation, then came home to Mum. I see he was born on Yell which appears bigger than Unst, maybe it had a tramway. Sorry if this appeared before - wasn't sure if I clicked add comment.

Depending on the age, and thinking sideways and squinting, I'm going with construction training carpenter. Not sure if they existed in 1881 but maybe it will start people thinking.

Am struggling to decipher a particular occupation - can anyone help? See http://unstmorag.wordpress.com/2013/01/24/reading-old-handwriting/ for details.

Most of my 18th & 19th century families follow the Scottish naming pattern.  1st son named for father's father. 2nd son for mother's father and 3rd son for father and 1st daughter for mother's mother, 2nd for father's mother and 3rd for mother. After that sibblings of either parent. This can be very useful for determining which family a person belongs to. Not sure if a woman was actually known by her maiden name or just referred to when spoken about, but headstones always seem to be written that way. Jean Brown, wife of James Stevenson also Elisabeth Stevenson daughter of the above, wife of Robert Orr etc. Most helpful.
