The Scottish censuses can only be seen as images on Scotlands People, I think.
"Son Affead" looks like a mistranscription - although someone more experienced in Scottish genealogy might be able to correct me on that. From that perspective, it's a question of trying to imagine what handwritten word (or abbreviation) might look like "Affead". My first instict would be to suspect it should read "Adopt" or something like that.

My thoughts is that it could be "Son of Head" - Ceclia Lennon at the bottom is listed as Mother, so maybe she is also the Head of the family?
Or it could be Son/Head as he is listed first.Linda

if you can use an uncommon family member, such as cecilia lennon, you can jump on scotlandspeople, and using the information carefully (it is a credit based site, and designed to eat credits), such as her name and the county she is in, you can narrow down the results to make sure oyu get the right entry on scotlandspeople.
credits are relatively cheap, it is worth getting the census from them, even when it is just to see what ancestry mangled, and sometimes they got it right!

Aye but it does say that they transcribed it as best they could.. I know that all of Cecilia's children are hers to her husband Edward, I have confirmed that through another members family tree.
I have also seen what may be a photo of Patrick Jr with his wife and daughter, there's also an older picture of the daughter and she's the spitting image of Edwards Jr's grand-daughter Cecelia, my great- grandmother.Lennon. Phillips. Thomas. Peacock. Tubridy. Burton.
I am the girl from that town & I'm darn proud of it.

"Son of Head" seems more likely than my original suggestion.
