1885 census for Bergen, Norway
Absalon Beyers Gade 19
Peder G. Iversen born 1828 in Bergen, occupation Handelsmand
Ingeret Iversen born 1824 at Molde, Hustru (wife/housewife)
Pedr Th. Iversen born 1856 in Bergen, Ophold hos Faderen
Olaf S. Iversen born 1859 Bergen, Sømand = seaman
Hilda M Iversen born 1862 Bergen, Syjomfru
Marius N Iversen born 1864 Bergen, Retusheur
Peter A Iversen born 1868 Bergen, Sømand
I'll try - wait to confirm with Norwegian speaker.
Absalon Beyers Gade = street address
Handelsmand = trader
Hustru = wife
Ophold hos Faderen = stays with his father (maybe he is handicapped?)
Sømand = seaman
Syjomfru = seamstress
Retusheur = retouching worker/ photo retouching (maybe photographer or works in photography shop)
back in an edit and made eibache and Jan Peter cxs
Google maps will take you to a map and street view of 19 Absalon Beyers Gate (street) |

Retouching means to postprocess a photo. It's likely he worked in a photo shop or was a photographer.
