ED1546 notes:   
Page 1A is largely illegible due to paper damage of original census sheet. 
Page 1B has a repair mark affecting the EDUCATION columns.  

Names that you see with ?'s were cross-checked with the other resources:
Directories for 1890 and 1892
Checked households and prior households for name clues

Unclear street names were identified using MAPQUEST.  

Page 8B included (for completeness' sake), but it is blank.

Certain names never varied in spelling, possibly due to enumerator 
choice:  Margret, Brodrick, and the like.  The names were transcribed 
as written on the enumeration sheet.  
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ED1549 notes:
The final page of this enumeration district is not dated, and is in different handwriting; 
likely done out of sequence by someone else. 

There were a few fields where names/occupations were illegible.  

Resources used:  Mapquest, Ancestry.com, LDS site, rootsweb, etc.

ED1550 notes:
Several pages have age damage/foxing making some fields illegible.  
Other pages have unclear entries due to enumerator marks over names, occupations, etc.
