   I believe the software changed the transcript automatically for much of   
   the 1891 census (it didn't happen on the very earliest counties). It   
   changed the surname of "daughter", "wife" or similar, to that of the   
   previous head, whether or not that head was in the same household. Once   
   done, it couldn't, apparently, be undone.
