He is not living on the Parish, neither is the person above. Alms were received from a charitable organisation and were not parish relief. Jennifer

I think the Ditto notation carries down from the top of the page - Amos Attwater is an Ag Lab - agricultural labourer. Diane

Although the ditto marks should refer one back to the entry above, I wonder if in this case it refers to the Ag labs, who are elsewhere on the page. They seem to be followed by alot of ditto marks . Have you noted the ages of the husband and wife in the house with Amos? It may be right....or perhaps this enumerator was not the most accurate. Gwyn

Can you post the name and census reference, it often helps if we can view the image. Jennifer

A relli on the 1861 census is not living at home. He is listed as a boarder and is 17 years old. In the occupation column he has ....Do Do...the occupation of the person 2 places above him is...Almswoman. Would a 17 year old be living on the 'parish' if he is a boarder??? His details are....AMOS ATTWATER, born 1844, Horsham, mother Mary, father Joseph Your thoughts please. Kathlyn
