What does it mean to have the relationship to head of household as "Governer" in an English Census?

Question

I ran into something new while doing research for my Lapish One Name Study - someone noted in their 'relationship to head of household' field as "Governer". (This is the father-in-law of the couple I was looking for.)

Does this indicate something in particular? His occupation is listed as "Ginger Beer and Soda Water Maker". I'm just used to the relationship to head field being "self" or something similar.

Perhaps it's a quirk of the English Censuses I haven't run across yet. At first I thought he might be an actual Governor of the town or something! My only thought is something akin to "Governess" but for a man.

Here is the link on Familysearch:

I don't normally add parents of spouses, but he seemed a bit unusual so I added him.

Answer 1

This is a transcription error. The image for this Census page has James Husler, as head of the family and a widower. Nowhere in the actual Census image is Governor recorded, unlike Familysearch.

Comments

Thanks for checking! It seemed very odd when I saw it, which is why I wasn't sure about it. Especially with his occupation being at odds with "Governer".

How odd.  I can only think the transcriber mis-picked it from a mis-spelt drop-down menu.

Yes. Very strange. I agree! (Though a bit sad, as I thought I'd stumbled across a relative marrying a Governor's daughter! Haha. Though I am sure the ginger beer he made was very delicious.)

I wonder if there is any way to get it fixed in Familysearch?
