    3. Ian - I have managed to enlarge the page and the entry is I think "CDH" - the letters are partly encircled to make them apart from the place where Charles was born but as to what they may mean would I think, be of interest to the enumerator only! I would concede that the 1st letter could be an "O" due to the flow of ink although the main structure of the letter looks to a "C"? In any event, I have never come across any such letters or any other combination in any censuses. Hope this helps a bit, hopefully somone may have more experience of census entries?
