  In the enumeraton of Ciscela's household, her married son Alexander and his wife were also listed, then the enumarator apparently realized they were in their own household, and he crossed them out.  But he included some information there that was not included on their own listing, like the age at which they were married.  There is also a difference in the age reported for Ethel.
