Looks like 'Son' overwritten by 'Head' and certainly looks like 'Unm".

Just what I thought Di, thanks

Ellen Earp Daur 20 b. Worcs., Dudley

No John?

Thought Rose Hannah might have been a graddaur rather than daur, but:

If these are children of John & Martha, then Martha must have been alive in 1871, but I'm blowed if I can find either her or John in that census. Are they overseas?

Me neither Di, I spent a long time last night searching for them
