Meaning of NC in a census

[carolmasip]

Don't forget NC has been written by the enumerator - plus Norfolk County - Northumberland would not make sense in any case

No - NC has been written by the householder , (text deleted.) It doesn't say NC Northumberland , just NC ,and could just as easily stand for Norfolk , Corpusty - perhaps Mr ?  was just uncertain .( The 1911 census was filled in and signed by the householder or someone else in the house if he was unable to write )

All is clear now - apologies for the confusion.

Would William's age in the original document be 31 (he was born 1880) by any chance?

The age given in  the free index is correct:
