The usual order is Head, Wife, kids in age descending order, then other rellies, including mothers and fathers. Married children might be saved until other children are dealt with, and then appear with their own spouse and kids in a sort of mini-household. Ancestry, and the LDS get confused as to where a household begins/ends if the head of the household doesn't identify themselves as head, but as wife, say. (This is not unusual in Aberdeenshire fishing towns/villages). I've seen the same confusion on SP with their old 1881 census, but whether they've got it sorted now they have 1881 images, I've not checked. |

I have seen families listed on the census' where they have not been listed in order, though, as a rule, the Head always comes first. |

generally speaking the first name in a household is the head of the household, each household is generally separated by a horizontal slash line and each dwelling by a double horizontal slash line |

Normally the head is first but give us the family and we can check the previous page. |

Does any one know if on a census sheet the first name to appear is the father then mother and childrens' names in age order would it be possible for another one of their children to be on the page before. If that makes sense. |
