Looking for namesakes in various census records, like this:
https://www.freecen.org.uk/search_records/5b91b323f4040b176c9b6e7e/george-macdonald-1891-somerset-bath-1841-?locale=en
Some of the Occupations are suffixed (Em'ee)- any ideas what that means?

Best answer
I would guess it is short for Employee.
Em'er would be Employer.
It comes from two columns on the census page. Here is a link to a free to view image of that page:
