Can you read the handwriting in these images, taken from the 1841 England census?

* The first image, I would like to know the occupation
* The second image, I'd like to know the borough in which they're living
* The third image, I'm trying to read both the street name, and the first name of the first person in the image.

The link is - http://www.mrsite.co.uk/usersitesv3/eloisefifield.co.uk/wwwroot/page11.htm
- you will need to enter the password - "rose"

Please try to look at each image and let me know what you think. It's all one family and one census return, so I'm keen to get it sorted! All guesses very welcome!

UK answer.

First one is a "COTTON MANF" meaning manifacturer,

the name on the census is "JANE" back in a moment with the other information.

Could you possibly give me the name and details of the person you are searching for so that I can look at the census return on ancestry.co.uk

Is this them in 1841, the birth year for Hallows is right,
