I think the surname in the census entry must be BARDON. There is a sort of flourish at the end, as Nivard remarked, but that could perhaps be explained by the writer's trying to emphasise the final "n" in view of the imminent line end; or it could even be a later annotation. What other surname could it be? Not BARDOLPH because there aren't letters. The only other possibility is BARDONS, which is also a surname, it seems, and should perhaps not be ruled out.
