My great grandfather Carson's household begins on line 98 of this document (Image 133)

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9RX1-68J?i=132&cc=1488411&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMCM8-RVK

His next three children are listed on lines 1-3 of this document (Image 132) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9RX1-6NF?i=131&cc=1488411

However, due to what appears to be a sheet numbering error, the three children above are shown in the household of the McGees, who are on lines 99 and 100 of this document (Image 131)

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GRX1-XCJ?i=130&cc=1488411&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMCM8-N7Z

Can this error be corrected? If not, can I get confirmation that the three children were in their parents' household at the time of the 1920 census?

Thank you.

    Are these records attached to any individuals in Family Tree? If not, I would attach the correct image to each of the people found therein using the Attach link in the bottom left of images 131 and 133. Add a note that the the sheet order is confusing and include a small proof statement. "On image 133, Richard Carson, age 45, was born in Ohio and his wife Effie, age 35, was born in Texas. Their daughter Maggie, age 14, was listed with them and her parents' birth places were list as Ohio and Texas. Three more children were enumerated on image 132. All three have the same surname and parental birth places as Maggie. Richard Jr and Effie appear to be named after Maggie's parents. Additionally, Emma McGee from image 131 would have been 60 when 2-year-old Effie would have been born, which is highly unlikely."
