Irwin,
The official policy is to transcribe the info as written on the the census form.
Not to make corrections to the info which forms the official record.
Records with erroneous data on the original census are not corrected in the transcription, but are anotated via either surname note, links, or a line note.
The line note has been amended to read: "Error in the census. The actual field entries should be: given name: "Athol Alexander", Sex: "M", Relationship: "Son"."
A link to the baptism record was also added.

What do I do with errors in the original Census Form?
Where the enumerator has made a spelling error in a name or one of the other values seems to be in error, the transcription must reflect the information entered by the enumerator. For an error in the surname, the proper spelling can be provided for the first family member listed through the use of a surname note, which will ensure these individuals are included in the search result. For an error in the given name, gender, or age, an off-line birth record could be added, including its bibliographical reference.
Cheers,
