My first thought when looking at the image was that Hugh had just got missed when the info was transferred to the sheets that we now see. I would have thought that Harriet should have been marked as Head. The image does not show Head but has been transcribed that way

Still saying married in 1901 - looks as if he ran off, left her with the kids and changed his name!
