    I'm the wrong religion to see the image(s), so I can't tell for sure, but it sounds like you're saying the index of this census is linked to the wrong image. This can happen due to simple typos (the indexer forgot to update that field, or incremented it too soon), but it can also happen more-or-less on purpose, in order to keep a household together in the index despite spanning two pages in the images.

    Either way, a note in the source citation's "Notes (Describe the Record)" field can direct people to the correct page, if they follow the link from the index record to the profile that it's attached to.
