Please correct the birthplace listed in the sources for Margaret Pearson Cameron, 8 November 1857 – 13 February 1871, KWJD-R7B? The birthplace listed in the extracted data states that this person was born in Ireland. The birth record, and the image of the census attached to this person shows that she was born in Old Cumnock, Ayrshire, Scotland, United Kingdom, on 8 Nov 1857.

    @Sherman R Cameron You can edit the indexed information from the 1861 census you have attached in the sources if you click on the image. When viewing the image, you will see the person's information on the right-hand side. Where the birth information is recorded, you can click the pencil icon and edit it to match what the record actually says.
