Hello, This morning I accidentally came across some Census information about a James N. KIDDER in the 1920 Census for Lancaster, MA (Worcester County) (USA). It seems he was born in Canada ~1864 and immigrated to US in 1894. I checked the LDS site and found his probable family in the 1881 Canadian Census, and James seems to be the oldest of ten children: Household: Name Marital Status Gender Ethnic Origin Age Birthplace Occupation Religion Albert KIDDER M Male Irish 39 Q <Quebec> Farmer Church of England Annie KIDDER M Female Irish 37 O. <Ontario> Church of England James Nelson KIDDER Male Irish 19 Q <Quebec> Farmer Son Church of England Ellen Louisa KIDDER Female Irish 16 Q <Quebec> Church of England Richard Albert KIDDER Male Irish 14 Q <Quebec> Farmer Son Church of England Harace Spencer KIDDER Male Irish 12 Q <Quebec> Church of England Sarah Julia KIDDER Female Irish 9 Q <Quebec> Church of England John Ethilbert KIDDER Male Irish 8 Q <Quebec> Church of England Harret Ethel May KIDDER Female Irish 7 Q <Quebec> Church of England Daniel Denison KIDDER Male Irish 5 Q <Quebec> Church of England William Henry KIDDER Male Irish 3 Q <Quebec> Church of England Ida Edna Florence KIDDER ..Albert KIDDER appears to have been born in Quebec Province around 1840. I believe there is a researcher who is looking for KIDDER families in Quebec Province in the early 1800's, and this might be the family she is researching. If James KIDDER migrated to the USA, I'm curious if any of his siblings did. The 1920 MA Census shows: James N. KIDDER, 56, b CAN/ENG Augusta KIDDER, 44, b CAN/ENG Ellen KIDDER, 10, Niece If I'm remembering correctly, researchers have not been able to tell whether the KIDDER's in early 1800's Quebec Province were from the USA, or whether they arrived there from Great Britain. (Albert is listed as being of "Irish origin.") Most KIDDER's in the USA are descended from the patriarch, James KIDDER (1626-1676) of Cambridge and Billerica, Massachusetts Bay Colony. FYI: There were several Albert KIDDER's born within 5 years of 1840 in either northern New England or northern New York, who could have very well migrated to Canada. *I'm just submitting this for your information.
