Other family
Other family is defined as a group of related individuals residing in the same household, who cannot be categorised as belonging to a couple or one parent family.
If two brothers, for example, are living together and neither is a spouse/partner, a lone parent or a child, then they are classified as an other family. However, if the two brothers share the household with the daughter of one of the brothers and her husband, then both brothers are classified as other related individuals and are attached to the couple family.
