OK, I have worked out why I was not getting information regarding the column 
when in a cell and it was because I actually had no header row assigned in the 
table menu under 'header row', it was set to 0, now set to 1 and the column 
name is now part of each cell description, Voila !

Remember that headers are a function of the Numbers table, not just the 
contents of the first cell in a row or column. So to get the headers to be 
spoken you have to both activate the verbosity option and designate them in the 
table in Numbers. Some tables have default header columns and numbers when you 
create them, some don’t, depending what template you select.
