That other number indeed is the page number, folks, as that particular indexer did it. And the reason some of the pages have a "b" after them, is that only every other page has a number actually on it, so the ones in between are listed by the indexer as "b" -- so pages go, for example: 56 56b 57 57b 58 58b etc. The microfilm of that census which I have seen shows various numbers at the tops of the pages: some numbers stamped on, others handwritten. Family households, of course, can spill over from one page to the next, depending on how low on the page the household starts. Also, "Algernon" is the correct spelling; it was mistyped in the indexing process. Cheers, BPN
