Yes, it is an instruction that was given to the 1900-1930 census
enumerators as follows:

 

If two or more persons share a common abode as partners, write head for
one and partner for the other or others. 

 

My very favorite site for understanding the instructions to enumerators
can be found at: http://usa.ipums.org/usa/voliii/tEnumInstr.shtml

Colleagues:

 

Ancestry.com has a NYC census record from 1920 in which the relationship
to the head of the household is listed as "Partner".  The head of the
household was Sadie Griffin (her actual first name was Zaidee) a
librarian at the New York Public Library who I am researching.  The
other occupant in the apartment was Helen Dadd, a teacher whose
relationship is given as Partner.  Has anyone seen this use of the term
Partner in this context?

 

Bob
