Notes
- Although some sources cite Volga Cansino's maiden name as Haworth, the Haworth Association genealogy site includes an excerpt from the 1900 Census for Washington City, District of Columbia which clearly shows the surname as Hayworth. The genealogy site, which provides her date of birth, indicates that Volga Hayworth's great-grandfather had begun using the name "Hayworth" and her father was legally known by the amended surname (Haworth to Hayworth).
