I have left all misspellings intact and transcribed the census just as I found it, but I thought I 
would point out some things I noticed:

The enumerator of the first pages, Wilson, had a habit of adding extra vowels to the ends of 
names.  Especially if the name ended in 'a', he tended to stick" an extra 'I' in before the end 
of the name. 			

The second enumerator, Wright, had very weak handwriting - there is little differentiation 
between e and I, between o and a, between n, m, u and r.
			
He was also not a good speller, so consequently many of these names just look bizarre and 
are probably not accurate.  Researchers are encouraged not to give up if they don't find their 
ancestor - search under all possible misspellings.			

The name Walkingstick alternately appears as Walking Stick.
