There has been a correction to this entry on Ancestry to William Kitt. Looking at the image it could be Kitt.
Certainly not Gigg.

Who in particular are you looking for?

I looked at the original of that census and although the name does look like Ritt the first letter is nothing like the R in Rosa, I think the name is Kitt confirmed by finding the same family on the 1871 census.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)
