I think it refers to where he OH was! If you turn the page Jane Hall (no OH) has "At Sea" in the end column and Eliza Mills (no OH) has "In Ireland" too.Comment

Emma Simpson (accountant's wife) has something more complicated written - to explain what she has done with her accountant? lol (same page as your Elizabeth)Comment
-
On page 8 there's four wives with "At Sea" in the end column.Comment
-
On page 4 Charlotte Cook has "H at Sea" which is presumably Husband at Sea"
