I am unable to edit an age in a census record.

Alex H Strickland in household of John A Strickland, "United States Census, 1900" • FamilySearch

The record says Alex is 12, the census clearly says 2, the year is hard to read, it could be interpreted as 1888, but then his mother would have been 10 when she became pregnant. Since she is my great grandmother, and Alex H is a great uncle, I know he wasn't born before Emma and Albert were married in 1895. I corrected the year to 1898, but that didn't fix the age.

    If you return to the record, you'll have the opportunity to edit the age.
