Trying to decipher this 1851 census entry- does that read as "concubine" ?

Some years ago I came across a census of a small village in which several women were listed as concubines. It seemed that the enumerator was outing everyone in the village who was "living in sin".

I wish I could remember which census and village it was. None of the concubines were my relatives but the number listed in one small village could lead one to the conclusion that it was not an uncommon occurrence and would account for those women who mysteriously disappear by living and dying under another name without "benefit of clergy".

  Liked that, just a pity they didn't give their 'aka' at the same time

I did come across a child that described as a "love child" in one of the censuses
