Occupation A P?

In the 1911 census an 18 year old male family member had A P down as his occupation. Does anyone know what that could be?

Link? It seems to be used in other census entries as abbreviation for apprentice.

Sorry, I have a few more posts to do before I can put up a link. A P is all it says though.

suspect it stands for Apprentice...
many of the matches on a search have an additional trade, e.g. A P Driller in Shipyard, A P Barber, Mechanic A P

Thanks Shane and CeannRua, it could be an apprentice for stonemason then. His father and two brothers were stonemasons.
