It looks as if it's meant to be Mariner.

I think the residence at the end of the line is Lower Street.

I reckon that's a very good call.
There's certainly a Back Lane and a Union Street written against other entries.
Googling brought up no clues as to a place called Bowershead, and the OP failed to reply to my question of where Bowershead was. (I thought it might be some tiny hamlet in the Scottish Highlands, for instance.)

Sorry, Pam - I missed out replying to your thread . . . I was so frustrated at not being able to upload the jpg!
The record is from Deptford, Kent, UK.
Thanks also for your help, arthurk.

That's a difficult one.
Is not that the same text further-up that page, the top line of that image snippet?
This site has a good list of historic occupations, but I couldn't see a fit with that word (whatever it is): https://www.familytreeassociation.org/a-c.html

Could it be Bowshed? A bowshed was a boat-building shed; something that a shipwright/carpenter could have been involved in building.

Or Bower street. I can't find a Bower street in Deptford, but there was one off Commercial road (?)

I admit my analysis has the slight flaw that there doesn't appear to be a Lower Street in Deptford (now), though I haven't managed to find a definitive list of streets in the 1700s.
There is a Lower Road, and it appears that part of this was renamed Evelyn Street at some stage, so could that part have been known as Lower Street at some earlier date? Maybe looking through a few pages of the register either side of this one would shed some light on this.
There was a Lower Street in Islington, which was renamed to Essex Road, but that doesn't really explain why a baptism would have taken place in Deptford.
However, I am totally certain of my reading of the address as Lower Street. There's a 'B' in a surname in the line above, and an 'L' in a forename at the top of the extract.
