Sue Elizabeth's entry says 'niece' in the relationship box and 'widow' in the marital status box. The cross over the widow doesn't mean its wrong - its a mark done after the census when they were tallying up various categories for statistical purposes. Elizabeth's daughters are described as 'great-neice daur' NOT granddaughter. nell

Looking at the image, it does actually say ''(Great) Niece's Daur''
