   Censuses: does there have to _be_ a head

   1901 census: Class: RG13; Piece: 4835; Folio: 112; Page: 36   
   (search for Jane Weightman in Ashington).   
   ...   
   163 Third Row   Jane Weightman          Head                    65

   I'm assuming that the three Purdys are _not_ children of Jane Weightman,   
   but have filled in "RELATION to Head of Family" as they saw themselves,   
   being to a Purdy senior who happened not to be at home on census night.   
      
   Do you think I'm right? Or was there a stipulation that each household   
   has to have a Head entered on the census?
