Notes

General:

181214:

While it seems to be a certain fact that Lona Bishop appears in the 1921 Census as a daughter of Corbett and Leah Bishop, it is also clear that she cannot be their biological daughter due to the age difference between her and her mother. Therefore, either she is adopted or the census (or its transcription on the NGB website) is in error and perhaps she is their granddaughter. Because I do not know which of the two possibilities is more likely to be true, but being certain that she is not their biological child, I am resetting her status as adopted for now.

Notes

General:

011213:

There is insufficient information available at this time to establish if this couple and their children are a part of the family tree of Bishops from which Mom descends. Therefore their information is being retained in the file but disconnected from that family until sufficient information exists to link them or to conclude they are not linked (highly unlikely).
