Reading notes
Things to be careful about
- Automatic PDF text extraction was requested with ocr-mode=auto, but no extractor produced usable text.
- Manual transcription from the rendered census page because the census image is image-only.
- The household identity is clear, but several page-level fields are faint. District is read as Strathcona, sub-district as 18, enumeration district as 42, and place as City of Edmonton South.
- Walter's age is transcribed as 49. This conflicts with the 1916 attestation paper's apparent age and birth date lane; keep the document-backed census age visible rather than harmonizing it.
- The household number is read as 75. The street address is not clearly transcribed from this census image; do not import the 8205-109 St. address from the separate attestation paper into this source's extracted facts.
- Donald's naturalization column appears to read "nat."; current reading is naturalized.

Notes
Research notes
- Automatic PDF text extraction was requested with ocr-mode=auto, but no extractor produced usable text.
- The FamilySearch citation page was preserved in the original-with-citation PDF and removed from the repository census PDF.
- Linked Margaret as a lead only; do not update or promote Margaret's canonical identity from this proposed source without user acceptance and resolution of the existing McKinnon/Mac Kennon identity conflicts.
