Looks like the enumerator was justing using it as a colomn to tick people off. he's done the same thing on many pages

Hi

If you look at the rest of the page - anyone born outside of the area has a mark next to them - they are being counted for the statistics of the area.

No - looking at the page - everyone not born in Wales is marked with a tick which is crossed through as part of a count and re-count when collating the statistical data about the area for the census figures.
