Can you check your dates - either birthyear is wrong or census year is wrong

Have you viewed the actual 1891 image?  The transcription is McFargan

Have you checked the 1901?  If you do - he is shown as James Dick and "Maggie" now Margaret is married to William Kerr.  James is shown as stepson

hi,
i saw that one today but same as u i didnt have enough credits.
i think the prices on sp are really high. 30 credits doesn,t really go far.
