Hello there, Does anyone know what the reason would be why there were two 'heads' in one household? I have Edward Cartledge and his wife, child and two lodgers. Then there's Edward Cartledge (presumably the son?), wife and two sons. Both Edwards are heads of household. Any clues. Tracey |

Could be that's what they wrote on the form, or could be the transcriber slipped up owing to the names being the same. You'll need to see the film. Since you've got a full reference, a main library in that area can probably send you an offprint of the page (if you don't live near) |

were the two heads related ? Could be that two familys were sharing the same house, and therefore there would be two heads of the household. I have one of my relitives in the 1901 census with the same thing eg two heads of household Yours Chris |

Thanks for your replies. I think they were probably father and son. Will look into it further. Tracey. |
