This is a peculiar one because what is written on the first sheet does'nt quite match the scan. Most of the names and ages tie up but slight discrepancies. Same district.  What do you think ?

Once again thank you very much for all your help.  I was tired last night and so had to finish up. (I'm in Australia) however I was very pleased to find your last three posts when I got up this morning.  The 1910 census entry was very strange, I've had some odd transcription errors on UK census records, but  a totally different name and age for John H Jones is very peculiar.  Was Patrick J Finn above the family on the original? I thought perhaps the transcriber might have missed a line out??  Or had John H Jones died and Patrick is the new man of the house???
I don't suppose we will ever know! Otherwise I'm sure you have the correct family. 

I also have the burial dates for Mary P Powell 1837 -1906,  Ellen A Jones 1870 - 1917 and James W Jones 1863 -1925 in Homestead Cemetery. Can you tell me how I could go about getting their death certificates?  Is the 1930 census the latest one available?  How do you access it, is it through Ancestry?

I really appreciate all the trouble you have taken with this.  Do you have a connection to this area?

Many thanks, Dash

Hello Dash.

That 1910 Census was odd but I have seen the same thing happen before. Patrick J Flinn is nothing to do with that household and is listed at least 12 entries above.  If you would like to see this for yourself, please send me a pm with your e-mail address and I will happily forward to you. The US 1930 Census is the latest one available for Pennsylvania. I honestly would'nt know the cheapest and best way to obtain a death certificate but know a man who would if you wish to do that.
A pleasure to help and obviously need to look further at the other information.

Regards.
