Re: incorrect 1881 from familysearch.org

The Head of the household is Jane's mother, Jane Martin, who is entered as a "W" (widow). USUALLY all members of the household are shown in relation to the head of the house, therefore, Archibald Cameron is the son in law of Jane Martin, Jane K. Cameron is the daughter of Jane Martin.

The younger Camerons are obviously the children of Archibald and Jane K. - Jane Martin is listed as 73 years of age so too old to be the mother of these children - she is the grandmother.

This is an example of the general rule of thumb not being used, but it is obvious who the parents of the children are.
