30-33 Enumerator's style of entry for these persons seems to indicate that
at least three of the children are siblings to each other but the
information given, if correct, would appear to indicate otherwise.
The original handwriting of information for these children appears to
be very clear in the census but are nevertheless footnoted here. The
information provided for each in the original census is as follows:
30 Birth month, year, and age given for this person in the original
document was June, 1891, 8, respectively. This person's entry
occurs on last line of first census sheet for the listing of this
orphanage (as such, no real indication of familial relation to
31-33).
31 Birth month, year, and age, given for this person in the original
document was Dec, 1891, 8, respectively. This person's entry
occurs on first line of second census sheet for the listing of
this orphanage; "Nelson" is spelled out.
32 Birth month, year, and age, given for this person in the original
document was Jun, 1892, 7, respectively. The surname is not
written out for this person but is referenced to the surname on
the line above by ditto-type markings, as is the person on line
33.
