As an occupation listed on a Danish census what is the meaning of
Admissible? Is it a beggar?

TIA,

It is not a beggar. But it is close.

Almisselem is a compound of the words almisse and lem.

Almisse means alms, charity.

Lem is a member or an inmate in a poor house or other institution.

You may also find almisselemmer as indsiddere on farms or in houses. An
indsidder is a lodger in a room at a farm.

Almisselem is a common "occupation" in the 1787-census. As they were unable
to support themselves they recieved charity from the parish.
