That was my transcription, and it looks more like Punter as the enumerator didn't dot his i, but he didn't cross his t either. I've checked the description of the enumeration district and it looks more like Pointer there. The occupation of Walter senior is definitely plumber.
There's no reason for him to be recorded as deceased on Sarah's marriage cert. The question didn't have to be asked or the answer recorded.
