Commentary
On the original enumeration return John's age has been entered twice. The first attempt looks like 50 but the ink has flowed too freely and could be read as 60. This has been struck through and above it is written what is probably 50, but this time there is too little ink and the upper half of the character is indistinct and might be read as 30.No relationship is recorded for either of George Kinch nor George Eames and no family connections are currently known.
