Just wondering if it could be something like Annuitant  with a strike out line through the second letter

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

There is a bolder line after 5 entries and then 10 entries on the census pages. They are all like that in 1911.

Thanks for that - will try to remember for future reference.    ;)

Was the ‘long s’ still used around 1911? I thought the word could possibly have been ‘assistant’ with the second letter of the word being a long s

I did briefly wonder about that, but a female cook as an assistant to a carter seems a bit odd.

Also odd, though nothing do to with deciphering, is that the son's birth is in FreeBMD but not in the GRO online index; I can't be sure of having found the daughter's birth; I can't find the marriage; and I have no idea where the husband was. Or why the information about Isabelle's marriage and number of children has been crossed out.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Yes, I found that too, and it doesn't seem to make sense if he was born in Bristol.

I don't know. That is one of the things I would like to find out but as the birth index entry is missing from the GRO online index I have no way of knowing it for certain in the short term.
