Lines 5-8 - The surname has been corrected to "Sinbourne" which is what I read the enumerator wote. Therefore, In added Sambourne as an alternate surname.
Line 6 - The enumerator wrote "Ida J" as the given name.
What if I find an error in the original census?If the error is in the original census document:
- a surname note provides an alternate surname spelling and allows the members of this family to be identified in the result of a search done on this alternate spelling. When entering a surname note, indicate if it applies to the entire family or only to this individual. Also, please include the bibliographical reference to the source that corroborates the surname provided, and if applicable, add an associated note.
