Just another example of why one should always look at the original image. Never take the transcription as accurate.

Yes it's Lucas on image so just a transcription error, the transcriber has put Flood for her in error.

Searching the 1911 Census for my Grandparents in Manchester I came across the original saying there was an 'Elizabeth Lucas age 51- Boarder - Belfast' on the transcript it reads 'Elizabeth Flood '. I'm sure Lucas is right ,so is this a typo error?

James and Mary Flood
Daughter Mary Elizabeth Flood age 6
