It is incorrectly translated in the 1920 census that her name is Davina. Although the letter "D" seems to be written, it becomes apparent that this is an "R" when analyzing the handrlwriting of the census taker when you look at the last person on the census "R"ebecca. As well, the letter "D" is different when analyzing names that begin with "D". All future census takers have her name beginning with an "R" although misspelling it as they thought they heard it. It can be assumed as well, with conjecture, that another relative could be named after her called Ruby in the last census.
