I've looked at the image, and although it looks quite like Hughes, it is actually Wright  e.g. compare the first letter of the surname with how the W of Wife is written for a number of women under their occupation lower on the same page

Good spot, MB! ;D

It sure does look like Hughs, though?!

This is getting interesting!  :)

I've just checked freereg for Hughs and variations in the parishes of Necton and Swaffham and there is nothing at all coming up that matches the people in the 1851 census.
Gilding, Eagle, Perry, Wright, Twite, Cooper, Gibson and Ramm in West & Central Norfolk.
