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?

I've written an email to the parent company of Ancestry.com, offering to share with them ehe error correction that I have done. There has been no response. I found two manuscript pages comprised only of boarders. One was on the Salt Creek Road. All worked for oil company (ies?). Another was the Midwest Hotel. The Oil City manuscript may have been for a boarding house. I hope to post census forms here. They contain a number of interesting entries that are not recorded here. To name a few: House Number (no street), House Value, Election District, occupation. Curious about Casper house numbers, I wrote to Kevin Anderson, Archivist at Casper College. On 30 Mar 2005 at 10:50, Henry Ward wrote: Kevin, My wife and I searched years ago for her grandparent's house in Chicago. We had difficulties because street names and house numbers had been changed early in the century. Has anything like that happened in Casper? I'd like to mention it as I write about census records. Kevin replied: Yes. I believe the City Council approved some changes to both street names and numbering as early as 1918. Both the old and the new show up on the 1921 Sanborn Insurance Maps. Kevin You can view these maps at Casper College. The transcriptions exclude occupants of the same name. Wives, brothers, sisters, cousins are excluded. The manuscripts show age. the transcriptions show Estimated Birth Year. The birth year calculation used in these descriptions seems to be (they're not always accurate) Birth year = 1920 - Age - 1 The possible years are this and the subsequent year. The census was taken in January and February, so this is the optimum estimate. Michael Ward is in the A.C list twice, once from a valid manuscript, once for a 'spoiled' manuscript. Start of Two Manuscript error. An area of Casper was enumerated twice, once for Election District 3, once for District 4. Irish names from each were entered twice, and were garbled separately and differently. I list first the corrected entry and then the error (sometimes two or more per person): Laverty, Barney -- ??, Barney -- Levertz, Benny -- Lafferty, ?? Layden, Michael (His wife Mary is on the manuscript.) -- Laden, Michael -- Ledger, Mike C Qualey, Michael (William on another manuscript) -- Za??len, Micahel (sic) End of the Two Manuscript error Laverty, Bernhard (1849 per transcription) (A.C had Lavertz) (It's written Bernhard. The subject doesn't see what the enumerator has written. It's probably Bernard.) He is probably the father of Barney Laverty. He lived with two sons born in Ireland: -- Laverty, William, age 38 -- Laverty, Patrick, age 35 The manuscript search to correct Lerer, Julian to Lever, Julian produced a listing for his wife -- Eleanor, age 53. The manuscript search to correct Daily, Tim to Daly, Tim produced a listing for his wife and brother -- Theresa (Arundel) age 37 -- Jim age 32 The Daly house number was 638. In the manuscript, the Dalys (and others) were listed as native Irish speakers. Some may have been, but I don't believe this was true for some that I saw in the manuscript. Theresa, for example, was my first cousin, once removed. Irish is spoken today as the native language in small areas, and I don't believe it was that different around 1900. An isolated transcription error: Minihan, Patrick -- Win??, Patrick For Keohana, T??, I can do no better. He's on the Midwest Hotel manuscript. He worked for an oil company as did many of his neighbors. Thinking Moses an un-Irish name I searched the manuscript. It's Thomas. In the search I found -- Julia Adams (age 43) wife of a non-Irish husband. On the same (I believe) manuscript, there was -- Kate ??, wife of an English husband. -- Murphy, Jeremiah? Mabel Ellis turned out to be Mike Ellis (age 29). On that same manuscript: -- Annie F. Dean (age 40) wife of Non-Irish Elmer E. Dean. -- Tim F. Mahoney (age 26) (son of Denver Tim) Mike and Tim lived with the Deans, were wool growers, and were single. Harley, John (age 38) is really Hurley, John. He is at house # 60_, Election District 11, and lives there (as head) with -- Margaret (age 37), his wife -- William Ward (age 27) his cousin, my father L??, John - It looks to me like L..enna. He is a roomer a house #1031, and works at a refinery. Could it be McKenna? Michael McKenna is listed. A roomer at the same house is John McGabe whom I see as McG... The Patrick Regan (age 33) manuscript shows his wife -- Regan, Bridget (age 33) M??stay, John is on the same manuscript as Peter O'Malley, Patrick Regan, and John McCarthy. Is he John McCarthy? Denver, ?? is not Denver. The first name is clearly Honora. I saw several manuscript pages that contain only lodgers. One such was the Midwest Hotel. The Henning Hotel was formerly the Midwest.       - - - Menu
