Hello, My first impression was that it was ODG...but after that I wasn't so sure, it could even by OLC. However, I am pretty certain it is not telling you anything about the PAGE family. I think it is most likely to be part of the process of analysis of the information regarding birthplaces. I think it relates to the London Vauxhall rather than the Surrey entry above but can't be sure. The other possibility is that it was an attempt at a faithful copy by the enumerator of something written on the schedule by the householder. It is certainly most unusual. Best wishes, Margaret.
Hi - Yes Margaret. Very puzzling but I managed quite high magnification and the last letter is almost certainly an "H" and the 2nd a "D" as the left side of the character is a straight line. The 1st letter is the one I am doubtful about, could be either an "O" or a "C"?? Agreed also that it relates to Vauxhall rather than Surrey. I've tried to imagine what circumstance could have led to this "Entry/Remark" and the only thing I can think of one of checking, if one knew who the enumerator was it may shine a little more light?
