I have a friend that owns a sheep farm and she told me years ago that her granmother used to Tickle the wool.I asked her what it was and she showed me the combs and how to tickle the wool. |

Could it be something to do with "tick" which was a linen cloth used for clothing and bed-linen? |

I think it looks like tickler. The T is identical to the T of Thomas above. The other letters apart from 'l' seem clear but I can't think what else it could be. |

It might be a very local term which just died out. |

What would make much more sense is if it said a 'Picker' in Woollen Mill, particularly for a 13 year old girl, however, the 'l' before the final 'er' does seem to be there.?? |

Are you sure that 1st letter is a T? Might it be H? Though I am sure the 2nd letter is an I, might be worth considering this: |
