Notations Under Column 17 (Disabled Family Members) in 1901 Census England
« on: Thursday 16 December 21 12:43 GMT (UK) »
Attached is a section of the 1901 census for Preston, Sussex, England. The column lists any disabled persons in the household who are to be noted by a numerical code. However, there are non numerical notations in the column that I don't understand. Both refer to a female, wife of the head, ages 31 and 40, if that helps. One looks like glos/lyos? and the other looks like Max. Would anyone know what they might mean? Thank you.

I might be wrong, but I think these might be an extension of the "Where Born" column

Glos = Gloucestershire                  Mdx = Middlesex
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.

I agree with BumbleB, that is what it looks like  to me

ADDED

I would not expect to see the enumerator using a numeric code in this column, they normally write out what the impairment is

Thank you! That's probably all it is. No interesting insights there then. Oh well.
