My two-pence (or cents) worth. 1. Try and get the index changed to show the name(s) on the original source document, but always remember the source is the document NOT the index. 2. Record the name as given on the original source document - even if you 'know' it is incorrect. 3. Make a note of the discrepancy under the detail of the source.

Do you record them in the source with their accurate name, their indexed name from the census, or with notes explaining both? My inclination is to use their correct name, but if you do that and someone else uses your source to try to find them, they won't because they're under a different name.
