Occupation, 1871 census, rural Norfolk?

[bugbear]

With my modern agricultural hat on, I'd like to read the top (hi-lighted) occupation as "Agricultural Gang Master", and the lower ones (complete with "ditto" for the younger siblings) as "Gang Lab[ourer]"

But am I using too much modern language?

It looks like gun master to me    bad eye day again methinks.

My first reaction is to go with Gang Master and Gang Labourer if this is their only appearance in the parish.

I agree that the writing looks more like "gun" than "gang" but that doesn't seem to make sense if the context is definitely agricultural.

If you look at 'Bricklayers Lab(oure)r', the 'a' in 'bricklayers' and in 'Labr" are pretty much the same as in 'Gan' in the line below . The writer is not very good at closing up his 'a's.
