Going through a census entry for a family I am researching I came across this at the end of the entry: Jane, child of head". The head of the house was a widower, whose wife died round about the time of the wife's death.
Can anyone help me with this puzzle

Can you give us the census entry details so we can have a look please.

whose wife died round about the time of the wife's death.
I find this a puzzle so could you explain, please?

This is in the 1851 census for Anglesey. The address is Craig Nen (?) Llandysilio. The family is called Dew and the head is widower Thomas Richard Dew. The puzzle is why the girl Elizabth Ann is described as "daughter to head". Can't find a name or death date (possibly 1849/1850) for Dew's late wife. Elizabeth Ann is obviously (?) not the daughter of Dew and his former wife. Or am I jumping to conclusions

Sorry Josey, this should have read "died about the time of the child's birth".

I think the last child Elizabeth Ann age 2 was just put down out of order and was the child of Thomas Richard
Her birth reg on the GRO Index lists her mother's maiden name as the same as her sisters
