Note: I took a picture of this memorial July 18 2009 but I am using the one on CemSearch because it more clearly shows the inscription. There is a problem. Georgina appears in the 1861 Census, but is shown on the memorial to have died June 20 1860. Hmmm.... How to handle this? Should we assume that the parents would not have the deceased child named in the census almost a year after she died? Or might the census taker record individuals who were in the household in the last year? My inclination is the former approach. (Dan Buchanan, March 8 2022.)^3,4
