I know it is tedious but it can work. The last name of my grandmother was completely wrong on the 1930 census and this method is how I found her. I also knew her address which verified the 'different' name was the person I was looking for. Also the children who were living with her. Marge margaretqclark@comcast.net (Marge Clark)
