Census entry error?
Posted: 17 Dec 2022 15:34
I have been entering some 1921 census records.
I have a woman who is a widow as the head of the household.
At the time of the census she has a married daughter staying with her along with 2 grandchildren.
I created the census entry and the grid correctly changes the surname of the widowed head of family to her married surname. However, the surname of the married daughter is not changed and it is recorded as her maiden name.
Is this by design or an unusual scenario that is not catered for?
