"Roy Cairns" listed above has the same birthdate as Maria and Samuel's son John on 5 May 1878 (according to birth registration. Roy must have been a nickname or a second given name. It seems likely that the one who appears to be "Thurmeter," age 27, is the same as Maria and Samuels child registered as Mary Catherine, born on 26 July 1871. The birth date in this record agrees. It appears that the name given for her here is the same as one of Eliza's daughters, though it is not clear what that name is, precisely.
