Research notes for Bessie

RE: 1900 Census Record - At first glance, Bessie is not on it, but Alice is marked with Bessie's DOB and age. I think there was confusion surrounding the twins by the census taker. So, either Bessie was missed - or Alice was. I have attached BOTH to the record even though (technically) one or the other is missing. I do NOT believe another record exists for Bessie (or Alice) in 1900.
