Husband or head of household?

Recently, there have been several instances in the 1880 census where the enumerator writes "husband" instead of "head" for the head of household. We've decided to make a rule that when this happens, the relationship should be "1" not "7."

Note: If the woman is ever listed as "head," and the husband is listed as "husband" on the manuscripts, then mark the husband "7" in the screens.
