Florrie Sollitt immigrated in 1900 to the U.S. from Leeds England where she was born in 1887. She was found in the 1910 U.S. census (age 23) living in Peekskill Village, Cortlandt Township, Westchester County, New York State. She was a nurse then. The was later working as "matron in charge" at the Carney Hospital in South Boston. She should have been there in 1920 and possibly 1930. Any help would be great.

I see the 1910 entry as Sister Flora Sollitt, but nothing for 1920 0r 1930. Perhaps, as a nurse, it wasn't easy to find everyone for the census. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Ellis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2003 2:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MA-CENSUS-LOOKUP] Florrie Sollitt / 1920 / South Boston Florrie Sollitt immigrated in 1900 to the U.S. from Leeds England where she was born in 1887.

All censuses taken after 1930 are still confidential and the information they contain is not open to the public. The census from 1790 through 1840 only named the head of the household and the numbers of people in categories - 3 males over 16, 2 males under 16, etc. The census from 1850 through 1930 lists each member of the household and usually gives the relationship to the head of the house. It also gives age (later years give birth month and year) and place of birth (usually just the state or foreign country). The 1890 census was almost totally destroyed by fire so there is a 20 year gap between 1880 and 1900.
