In the 1911 Census for Cape Breton North-Victoria my grandmother is listed as Gessiah... her name was Keziah. Her brother is listed as Howard but in the original record you can see it is Gowand. Thanks to all the folks working on this .. this has been a fantastic resource. |

Rlgarant, In order to take the necessary corrective action, more information will need to be provided. Please provide the surname and the enumeration district and page on which Keziah and Gowand are listed. 1911 / Nova Scotia / Cape Breton North-Victoria has 39 enumeration districts, each having many 2 to 41 pages, for a total of 30,700 lines; which is way too many to visually scan for the records in question. Thanks, |

Ref.: 1911 / Nova Scotia / Cape Breton North-Victoria / 32 Neils Harbour poll district / page 6 Rlgarant, Line 2 - the given name has been correctedc to "Gowerd" which is what the enumerator wrote. Line 3 - No correction required to the given name because the transcription reflect exactly what the enumerator wrote. The policy of this site is to transcribe the names as the enumerator wrote them. 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. You will find much more information on this at Surname Notes -for a discrepancy in the given name, gender, and/or date of birth - an online or off-line birth record link is the preferred way to annotate the correct information.
