When the head of the household is no longer listed, don't assume he/she is dead. The person could be living with one of the children.
Don't assume that all information in the census is correct. It's only as good as the knowledge of the person reporting it.
Don't assume that all children listed belong to the wife listed. This may be a second wife and the children a combination of his and hers.
When copying census information, copy EVERYTHING EXACTLY AS IT IS WRITTEN! This is the way it was written - leave it alone!
