Hi Everyone - A very kind soul searched the 1900 census using the birth names and dates of my Mingin line, and soundex; here's what she came back with: Please note the misspelled last name! 1900 US Census Mingey, William Lived in: 5 Ward Bridgeton, Cumberland County, New Jersey Series: T623 Microfilm: 960 Book: 2 Page: 141 June 8, 1900 Address: 91 Penn (Street? Avenue?) all born NJ-William and Emma's parents born NJ William can't read or write, can speak English Emma, Samuel, Maggie, Bertha, Irving, William can read, write, speak English Clarence, Emma, Albert can speak English William-6/1858-m. 21 yrs-glass gatherer-rent-home Emma-10/1858 Samuel-11/1878-glass sniffer Maggie-1/1882 Bertha-8/1884 Irving-8/1886-glass sniffer William-7/1888 Clarence-1/1892 Emma-6/1893 Albert-5/1896 Loraine (male)-1/1899 - *his name is actually spelled Loren. Anyway, since they were in Bridgeton by 1900, and I know they more or less remained there, I was wondering if SKS could check on the 1910 and 1920 census, using the children's names? I'm not sure how that works exactly. And, there is another child to add to this: Merrill. Now, contrary to popular belief, the only Merrill found on the SSDI is NOT this Merrill, it may be his son, but, it's not him, how do I know this, first off, Emma was born in 1858, needless to say, it's very improbable that she gave birth at 61 years of age. I also spoke with my grandfather just a little while ago, he was born in 1922 and remembers distinctly that his Uncle Merrill was more than 3 years older than him and even fought in WWI. Merrill did have a son Merrill Jr., but grandpa doesn't recall much about him aside from he was living in Chicago when he died. I also have the funeral document of Uncle Merrill's other son, William, he was born in 1926, so, unless there was some miraculous conception going on, Uncle Merrill could not possibly have been born in 1919 and fathered a child in 1926! My grandfather also remembers that all three girls died young, now, they were all alive in 1900, I'd like to narrow down the years of search before I order their death certificates. I'm also curious as to when Uncle Merrill was born. Any help solving this bit of mystery is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
