Question about 1870 & 1880 census forms

[Roger Nelson]

What did the first column in the 1870 & 1880 census forms ask?  Did the 1870 census ask for the location of the farm?
Dronninglund Dist., Dronninglund Sogn, Hjørring Amt., 1870, opslag #125. The Christensen farm is identified as Vesterdorf gaard.

In 1880, opslag #128 as well as other census records (1845, 1850, 1855, 1890, etc.) the name of the farm is reported: Store Bjørnlund.

Best wishes, Rog Nelson
