Help me identify a word in this document

I can read French, but I have never come across the word in the bottom center before. Right after "de George Suain age de quarante un ans _________ tous deux du...." It looks like it could be his occupation, but I have never heard of a "Beicteur" or whatever that reads. image.png

    Apparently its an old word for 'Boiteux' -the limp,cripple...

    please find it via control f on the page.

    Modern version= Boiteux.

    => boieteux

     

    https://books.google.be/books?id=1bxyCU6apU8C&pg=PA24&lpg=PA24&dq=boieteux&source=bl&ots=Vield8BvvW&sig=ACfU3U3GJ4PXwzg8AEffASc6qQNXzipuig&hl=nl&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi4vLqX3arjAhWNyKQKHU_9CN8Q6AEwD3oECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=boieteux&f=false

     

    That makes it easy to complete the phrase above as -' Boieteux tous deux'---both crippled or both handicapped.I would make a lot of sense.
