NOTE - I'm not convinced that William John Fitzgerald was a son of James Beverly Fitzgerald Mary Malinda Arnspiger. This census record shows a blank where his relationship should have been entered. It then shows that the birth locations of his parents to be different from that shown for all the other children. For example, it shows his father as being born in Missouri which would be correct but it then shows his mother as being born in Kentucky. Mary Arnspiger was born in Illinois, not Kentucky. But there are still some other problems with the parents birth locations for all the other children. It seems the enumerator entered them in reversed order. For example, it should have indicated Missouri for the father and Illinois for the mother (Missouri - Illinois) but instead it was all entered as Illinois for the father and Missouri for the mother (Illinois - Missouri).
