1941 City directory? 1941 is based on residency in 1940, same for 1931 based on 1930, so forth. It is a dirty secret. David S.

Due to the fat the family rented in 1930, this pose a problem. I found the district but they're not listed there. Guess you have to wait for FamilySearch to finish setting up index link.

Hi all, I can't find either of the above names in the 1881 census! In the 1871 census they were living at 18 Flint Street Bromley.

Diane, I strongly believe that the "James" listed in 1881 is the same as the Josiah listed in 1871. Both are listed as smiths for their occupations, and the 1881 "James" is 30, as would have been a Josiah. Both addresses are 10 Flint St. (Not 18) I think the enumerator made a mistake because with the exception of being listed as "Josh", Josiah is never referred to as James again and James H is still referred to as James H Gosling.

Hi Everyone I hope someone maybe able to help me please. On the 1820 Census for Christian ROSE Redbank Twp (Westmoreland?) PA., there is on the same page a John Fuller. There is a John Fuller also in Allegheny Twp, I think this is Armstrong Co. though. (I think this maybe the one married to Rebecca Gathers) I would like any information on the John Fuller living next to or near Christian Rose please, don't know if this could be Henry's father or not. This John appears on the same page as Christian ROSE. There is also a James Fuller (mispelt HULLER) in Westmoreland on the 1830 Census, Henry born 1819-1824. Also Christian Rose is living next to Henry and Mary Ann ROSE/ Fuller in 1850 (Christian being Mary Ann's father) in 1850 in Armstrong County, so the families must have wanted to stay close to each other. Many thanks kind regards Dianna

Yes, Jim, but look at the history here. At one time son-in-law meant "step-son." The terminology changes, as does the method of clearly specifying the relationship. There were other constructions, such as "_____ at law" implying a legal relationship. Over time (now, there's one -- I just typed "overtime" then realized that that's another example. I meant "over the course of time" not "works over-time" -- now spelled overtime) the meaning, and the construction has changed. It is only important that everyone understand what is being said. My guess is that some enumerators used hyphens and some didn't. BUT, we (the users of the index) need to have a common construction. In this case, the people setting out the indexing gets to make the decision. Even if it wasn't "right" once it was made, it needs to stay that way. The point of these hyphens is clearly keep the words together. There is an interesting article about this here: http://www.grammar-quizzes.com/punc-hyphen.html I was always taught (Arizona schools) to hyphenate relationships -- something we do a lot in this business -- so this did not surprise me. Others in other areas of the country could easily have been taught the opposite. And, thank you for your service to all of us for doing the indexing!

How about Jacky? This is one I ran into when looking for Rebecca Porch in Northampton Co., NC - turned out it is her name when on census, then when on slave census she is listed as Rebecca Porch, slaveowner in 1850 and 1860 censuses.
