Family History is a Pandora's box if you don't like what you see find a new hobby,only concentrate on the proven facts and not the facts you think you know.

Yes the census records him as a lodger but the ancestry site has recorded him as a patient. Is this just a typo or is there more to it? :-\

As I "patiently" explained - it's a transcription error, not a typo.
Look at the original, hand-written, page and you will see what I mean! ;D
