Backworth district, Northumberland RG 4810. Robert Wright and Family . On the image of the census to me it looks like all the children are Wrights except Agnes who is married and Walter her husband but if you just click view household it puts all them under agnes as Sneddon Are they Sneddon or Wright what do you think?

Looks like the enumerator just dittoed the surnames for Agnes and the other children, then after realising his mistake changed Agnes. I think the rest are Wrights. Who ever transcribed it would have assumed that the dittoes applied to Sneddon instead of Wright.
