Paul, maybe the Staff or enumerator considered it unethical to name in full, the patients at a Sanatarium.

Huh! Just have a look at Ancestry 1841 Scotland census and count the number of women with the first name "Widow" lol.

I have seen some ordinary households where only Head's name is given in full and everyone else is listed by initials.
I think this reflects the householder's rage at the perceived unwarranted nosiness and intrusion of the census, and he has obviously "read the rules" thoroughly and is applying them!
