NOTE - Mary Elder and David Renton were both children of Isabella Renton who was married to David Elder in about 1869. Her marital status at the time of this census is not known nor is the exact name of the father of David Renton. I am unable to determine who David Crawford was but was no doubt related to Isabella Crawford in some manner, probably a cousin. (Brian L. Lightfoot)
