Column number 2: Relationship
The first person recorded is considered the head of the census household; the word "Head" is written down for this person. If the real head did not spend the night prior to Census Day in the dwelling he or she is not enumerated. The relationship of the other persons to the head is recorded; e.g. wife, partner, child, nephew, daughter-in-law, grandchild, guest, servant, child of servant, etcetera.

For those in non-family groups, write down in this column the reason for which they are in the dwelling, e.g. in a hotel, administrator, porter, passenger, other in a hospital, nurse, patient, etcetera.
