A family comprises a group of people consisting of a married or cohabiting couple with or without child(ren), or a lone parent with child(ren). It also includes a married or cohabiting couple with their grandchild(ren) or a lone grandparent with his or her grandchild(ren) where there are no children in the intervening generation in the household. Cohabiting couples include same sex couples. Children in couple families need not belong to both members of the couple. There is no age limit on the term child. For example, a married couple living with their son aged 40 would be classified as a family consisting of a married couple and their child unless the son has a spouse, partner or child living in the household. The type of family is classified according to the characteristics of persons in generation 1 of family excluding any students in a family whose termtime address is 'elsewhere'

ft1 (family type generation 1) Type of family classified according to characteristics of persons in generation 1 of family (excluding any students in Family with Termtime Address elsewhere).
