wonder if they got this wrong ? Keziah on bcc and in census

Peterd

Yes, it is a strange one.
Isaac's mother was Keziah, so looks like there was a mix up somewhere. It's definitely his though.
I think I'll start calling her Mary as well as I don't know how to say her name anyway!

Forgot to say before that I have scanned images of the death cert, US census info and also the funeral card if anyone wants a copy.
I have some other bits and bobs that I will hope to post at a later date.
