In the 1920 Census I have run into several incorrect Event Place (Original) New York, Richmond which when you look at the page header has Richmond Borough NYC

being assigned incorrectly to Event Place: Richmond, Ontario, New York, United States

a town over 300 miles away. Here is one page for Lawrence Moran GJ5X-G6C line 81

https://www.familysearch.org/ark%3A/61903/3%3A1%3A33S7-9RJN-9FL

I have made the correction now that I am aware of it and I do not know if it applies to all 36 images. Here is an alternative path to the record

Thank you

    Curiously the problem with this family is fixed?

    But a search for the person on the top of the page, Nellie Dooly, born 1863 finds the record

    https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MVMJ-2WF

    with the same problem.
