Relationship to Head

[Alan Welsford]

If you look a few pages previously, you find someone described as "Brother to Head", so it seems fairly obvious the intended meaning is more than just this, (or why wouldn't they all be listed the same).

Also "V B Head" seems to have been used both where someone appears without a family, and where they have a family with them.

I still haven't a clue what it stood for, but am doubtful of "visiting", as there seem to be too many cases for it just to be siblings who just happened to be visiting.

Sometimes it looks like they are almost saying "treat one address as two households", but then they should be shown as 2 households, which they are not.

Thank you for your contribution Alan. I take your points and agree that visiting brother may still be incorrect. However, the enumerators often changed their minds during the course of their travels, on how entries were made so I am still bearing it in mind I am now following up the brother angle and we will see what develops.
