The same enumerator on another page has Richard Smith, Apprentice, with the "tice" written in the space below above "Head". When the enumerator was copying the schedules into his enumerator book, it is likely that he did not leave enough room to add "Boarder" after "Pupil".

Well done Stan --- yes I now agree that it is the Enumerator entering information below the line. (I hadn't twigged that was what responders were saying). Clearly I'm a bit slow on the uptake!

Hence in the case in question 'Boarder' refers to the Pupil above.

Lancashire, West Yorkshire, Southern Ireland, Scotland.
