They've been indexed as Juan and Pricilla Brough and looking at the handwriting I can understand why. FMP won't change a transcription unless there's a clear error in interpretation of the enumerator's handwriting, irrespective of other evidence of what the names were. I prefer Ancestry's error reporting process which allows for multiple interpretations of a name to be made searchable.
