    1. Need help reading census pages please/ 1930/ SEKEL (SICKLES)
    2. Laurie
    3. I have a census page that I can't read: 1930, Philadelphia, 26th Division, 36th Ward, Enumeration District No. 51-139, Supervisor's District No. 31, Sheet No. 32B. House number 1520 is the home of William Sekel (spelled Wm Sickels), but I can't make out the head of household's name. It should be last name Fay, seems to be but spelled Fee, and I can't make out the first name. Could someone help me read this please? Just down that same page is a smudged house number for James Sickle. I can't make out hte age at first marriage of his wife Mary (his second marriage), nor am I certain that I'm reading his occupation correctly: pipefitter is clear, but the other word looks like fertilizer to me. Again, could someone help me read this please? Thanks so much! This has been a big breakthrough in my Sekel line, but I'm strugging with the handwriting and misspellings. The name is truly Sekel, rather than Sickles. Laurie

    1. Enumeration districts

    3. I'm having a tough time locating some census images, and part of the problem is not knowing where to look. I've located James SEKEL at 4323 Osage Ave. in 1900 and then at 2709 Alter St. in 1920. Could someone please tell me the enumeration districts of each of those addresses so that I may narrow my search? Thank you, Laurie
