Hi Pam, I looked up those censuses for you. I believe that all the ages I have are right, but the copy I looked at wasn't the clearest, so they may not be. If you would like me to email you a picture of the actual image, I can. They are in jpg format and about 300k. I'm also not sure what Thomas' occupation was. It was something dealer. Maybe you already know? I didn't list the other's occupations, just states of birth. All of the daughters were listed as attending school.

I am physically unable to do research out side my home so I am asking for help. I need to know who all is in the household of Thomas Doran. The index listed an Ann Doran in his household. Thomas' oldest daughter was Ann(a) she would be 17/18 so may have been listed in the index. I am hoping that is maybe his mother Ann. I had been told that Thomas was not listed in the census at all and I had my doubts about this as he was in previous censuses as well as the City Directories. I also would like to know if anyone else was in the household of Joanna Doran, the widow of Patrick Doran, Thomas' brother.
