Carrolls in 1900

With cousin Rosalie's help, I think we've found the Carrolls in the 1900 census images on ancestry.com. No wonder it was so difficult, though, as the family is spread across two pages, with possibly different spellings of their last name (Carral and Carrol--could just be poor handwriting) and lots of mismatching data. I'm not sure how much of that is the census taker's fault and how much was from the family. There are other inconsistencies across the family's later census entries, so I'm not sure whether the Carrolls were just difficult to understand or misreported the data, deliberately or by mistake.

Only John, Mary Jane, May, Rosina, and Evatne are living in the house. For Mary and Evatne, their years of birth don't match their ages, and their places of birth don't match their actual birth records. But I think it's the right family because Rosina and Evatne Clark (even as "Avaden") are both unusual names, and they're living in Woodward Twnshp, West Houtzdale, Clearfield, PA.

John and Mary J Carral:
Mary is listed as 55 years old (3 years younger than John), but her D.O.B. is listed as 1854. The census taker or transcriptionist probably meant 1845. It says they came to the US in 1877 and 1878. This is not possible given that Rosina and Andrew were born in Scotland in September 1879 and Andrew Carroll died in Scotland in April 1880, but it does indicate that John may have preceded the rest of the family, which would possibly explain where he was for Rosina and Andrew's birth (witnessed by Patrick).

May and Rosena Carrol and "Avaden Clark":
Notice that "Avaden" is listed as 1 year old (in 1900), but her D.O.B. is listed as 1888.
