Information in this table comes from a transcription of data from manuscript census enumeration forms. I must praise the transcribers for their hard work while deploring their carelessness. The manuscripts are difficult, and sometimes impossible, to read, but for some errors there is no excuse. An example: The transcription for Michael Ellis reads Mabel Ellis though the manuscript is clear, but even so the gender entry should have told the transcriber that Mabel is not a man's name. Poor Mike! In another transcription his position in the household is mother. I have looked at only a few manuscripts, those that had been badly transcribed. I corrected the errors that I detected, and report my decisions at the table's end. Please read these comments to see how hard I worked - and for the fun of it. I have made some minor spelling corrections without remark. I have occasionally used several fields of the table, Middle Name, Corrected Name, and Maiden Name for other than their intended purpose to show information that fits no where else. The index to the 1930 is in enumeration order. The 1900 and 1920 censuses are in alphabetic order, though that order has been violated a bit when I changed spellings or found additional immigrants in the manuscripts. Alphabetic order is useful of course, but it is not the order of the manuscript. The household relationship becomes meaningless. Brother, and more especially, Cousin lose meaning until the records are seen near each other on the manuscript page. The policy of the transcriber was to record each surname in the household once only. Thus, a husband would be listed, his wife would not. A cousin with the same name would not be listed, but a lodger with a different name would. I have noticed the term Servant was used often to describe a person's position in a household. It's not unlikely that a woman would be a cook, maid, or nanny, be in fact what we normally mean by the word. But many man were listed as servants, but would also have an occupation listed in the manuscript. Then in the 1900 Census, I found the Patrick Sullivan (the Senator) household. The manuscript bagan with him, listed his wife Nano, their daughters, and then many male servants, enough almost to fill the whole form, whose occupations were in the sheep business. And these men were not in the household, but out somewhere on the range. The word should be Employee rather than Servant. - - - to Error Analysis and Correction The enumeration forms include useful and interesting information beyond what appears in the table: House Number (no street name), Occupation, Radio Ownership, and so on. You may download blank PDF copies of the forms. The transcriptions and manuscript pages are available at fee-based sites, Ancestry.com and AncestryPlus.com. Some public libraries have subscriptions to these sites. 1920 Census Last Name: Laverty Year of Birth: 1882 First Name: Barney C20ID:   1 Middle Name: ID:   Corrected Name: ? > Laverty; same as 49 City (WY):   Casper Maiden Name: ------------------------- Last Name: Barden Year of Birth: 1839 First Name: Thomas C20ID:   2 Middle Name: ID:   Corrected Name: City (WY):   Casper Maiden Name: ------------------------- Last Name: Brown Year of Birth: 1840 First Name: David C20ID:   3 Middle Name: ID:   Corrected Name: City (WY):   Casper Maiden Name: ------------------------- Last Name: Brown Year of Birth: 1889 First Name: James C20ID:   4 Middle Name: ID:   Corrected Name: City (WY):   Casper Maiden Name: ------------------------- Last Name: Buckley Year of Birth: 1892 First Name: Peter C20ID:   5 Middle Name: ID:   11 Corrected Name: City (WY):   Casper Maiden Name: ------------------------- Last Name: Burke Year of Birth: 1879 First Name: Michael C20ID:   6 Middle Name: ID:   38 Corrected Name: City (WY):   Casper Maiden Name: ------------------------- Last Name: Burke Year of Birth: 1881 First Name: Patrick C20ID:   7 Middle Name: ID:   565 Corrected Name: City (WY):   Casper Maiden Name: ------------------------- Last Name: Burman Year of Birth: 1883 First Name: Charles C20ID:   8 Middle Name: ID:   Corrected Name: City (WY):   Casper Maiden Name: ------------------------- Last Name: Carey Year of Birth: 1884 First Name: Luke C20ID:   9 Middle Name: ID:   Corrected Name: City (WY):   Casper Maiden Name: ------------------------- Last Name: Coakley Year of Birth: 1884 First Name: Timothy C20ID:   10 Middle Name: ID:   Corrected Name: City (WY):   Casper Maiden Name: ------------------------- Last Name: Coghlen Year of Birth: 1869 First Name: John C20ID:   11 Middle Name: ID:   Corrected Name: Coughlan?
