This census data raises a few questions. the birth year of Louisa is off by two years and a child is listed that I have trouble placing. My data shows that Louisa's first husband died in 1892. James and Louisa indicate they have been married 3 years. The child listed in this census as Ornald, age 5 doesn't seem to belong to either man.

This census raises more questions. Fred listed as age 13 was not present in the 1900 census and Ornald is missing.
