Note: The Year of birth and age of Georgiana above is 10 years off from her age in 1910 as she is listed as 37 in both census reports.  I would like to guess that she was 27 in 1900 since Dorsa was 24, but she may have been older than him. These are the only two census reports I can find her in as there are 7 other Georgianas within 1 year of 1863 in adjoining townships so I can not pin her down in 1880. I just wanted to let you know I realize something is wrong here, but that is the way it was recorded.
