PETERS CENSUS RECORDS 1860 TO 1910: By the time the later Census Records were taken, much more information was included on Peters than was the case in the earliest censuses. The focus of census data had shifted from just counting families to giving data on all residents of the United States. The Peters information listed may include the following: every household member's name, age and birthplace (usually only the state), the occupation for those over 15 years of age, the number of persons over 20 years old who could not read and write, whether the individual was married, whether the person attended school within the calendar year, the relationship of each person to the head of the household, the state or country in which the mother and father of each person was born. In the records, you may find information including the month and year that each Peters namesake was born, the year that an immigrant Peters arrived in the United States, their citizenship status, the number of years a Peters couple was married, the number of Peters children born and the number still living at the time. When looking at the later Peters Census Records, please keep in mind that often not all records are presented, and certain limitations exist. The records can contain faulty information, so they should always be considered along with other documents or records you may have on the family. The information that was noted depends on what the Peters interviewed at the time told the census takers. The census takers could have made mistakes in interpreting and recording the information. For example, the age given for each person was often the census taker's guess. Oftentimes other members of the family, or even a neighbor, may have answered the census takers questions. If so, the person may have found it difficult to remember all the ages and the other information about all the people in the household. If the person being interviewed for the census was a newly arrived immigrant who didn't speak English very well, the data recorded by the census taker could easily have misspellings and misinterpretations. ----1860 Connecticut---- Name: Delia Age: 4 Sex: Female Birthplace: CT Month Of Death: April Cause Of Death: Croup County: Hartford ----1860 District Of Columbia---- Name: Sicely Age: 3 Sex: Female Birthplace: DC Month Of Death: Feb Cause Of Death: Consumption County: Washington ----1860 Delaware---- Name: James Name: Mary Age: 1 Age: 55 Sex: Male Sex: Female Birthplace: DE Birthplace: MD Month Of Death: Nov Month Of Death: Feb Cause Of Death: Scarlet Fever Cause Of Death: Consumption County: New Castle County: Kent ----1860 Georgia---- Name: J.
