Can anyone suggest what Isabelle's relationship and marital status in the attached extract are please?

She is married and has a son and daughter and  a boarder
Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.

Looks as if she is mother of the children, but can't read the occupation.

Odd that they put the boarder first - usually the head of the household goes first, male or female.    :-\

Are they part of the larger household?

It looks like ‘Apartments’ or ‘Appointments’ - they first might make more sense but not sure if any would be right.

I think you are only seeing a snip of the full page. The head of the household just isn’t visible here.

I wondered about that, but the line above the boarder looks thicker as if it is the end of a different household above.   :-\ :-\

Yes, it's only part of the page. I did not wish to fall foul of infringement of copyright so only included part of the household.

It's only the crossed out words that I cannot decipher - the rest, including the other members of the household, is perfectly clear.

The whole 1911 entry is here
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X71D-4HF

Household
Joseph Short, Head
Alice Mary Short, Wife
Alfred John Short, Son
Alice Rosina Short, Daughter
Doris May Short, Daughter
Thomas Simmons, Boarder
Isabelle Knight, ?  32
Edgar Leslie Knight, Son 3
Phillis May Knight, Daughter 1

The crossed out entry is very difficult to read, the best I could do that makes any sense is "Open tenant" which could be intended to explain the relationship of the Knight family to the head who is Mr Short, as "boarder" does for the name above.  Not that I have ever heard or seen that phrase!

The other crossed out bit just looks like the age originally put in the Male column which is frequently seen.
Rutter, Sampson, Swinerd, Head, Redman in Kent.  Others in Cheshire, Manchester, Glos/War/Worcs.
RUTTER family and Matilda Sampson's Will:
