Just out of curiosity, I did a search on Ancestry for the term “Ticket Writer” and it is indeed a profession and does appear on other British census docs. Perhaps the enumerator noted the resident’s occupation in the place column as an added note? Also, the resident, Samuel White, was listed as a “Show Card Writer” and then the enumerator added “Printer” above that. Just speculation on my part.

It says formerly housekeeper on the form and gives her birthplace as Hockwold and her daughters' birthplaces as Methwold so they are from South West Norfolk. Not quite sure where Upper West street is these days but I think it was near Pottergate which five minutes walk from Westwick Street. If you can read the Yard name ( Norwich yards were famous -or infamous-you can google Plunketts Norwich and maybe find images or details of the yard they lived in) Thank you Rosie for your suggestions. Do you think the writing I am struggling with might be the name of a yard? I have been googling away and am no further ahead. Of course I have been side tracked in reading about life in these yards – something very foreign to me. One place said that many of the yards in Norwich had unusual names.
