Commentary

There is no Head listed for this household.

Eliza E Galliard is the daughter of Lewis Buckle Reeves who married John Moseley GALLIARD on 30 October 1850 at Braddan, Isle of Man. Both relationships make sense if Eliza's husband John is seen by them as the head of the household.     John has not been found elsewhere on the 1851 census for England and Wales.

It is curious that both Eliza and Lewis are described as Married and yet neither has a spouse present.
