I agree that the next-last-word is "pauper". The word in the last column is definitely "Dewsbury" - see another Dewsbury written about two entries down the page.

My guess: "Hannah d[aughter] of Elizabeth Richardson, pauper, Dewsbury" The last word seems to be a place which is commonly repeated in that last column on both pages. Wherever this is I would look at town or other geographic names in the area.

I'm not sure that I'm looking at the right thing. The word before what appears to be the burial location is "pauper." And the last word looks like it could be "Dewsbury."

I want to thank everyone who responded to my inquiry about NYC wards. I have learned so much great info :) I have been able to map out where my guy lived, worked and where he was buried. With the info y'all provided, I am able to say with a certainty that the man in the 1836 city directory (who is also listed in the 1840 census) is one and the same as the man buried at Green-Wood.

Hi Michele, Ward maps are sometimes found in the front or back of some city directories as Harold said. Additionally, here are some sources for Ward maps for New York (and other cities). Ward Maps of the United States: A Selective Checklist of Pre-1900 Maps in the Library of Congress compiled by Michael H. Shelley (available through the FHL. https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/373717?availability=Family%20History%20Library) The Handy Guide to Record-Searching in the Larger Cities of the United States by E. Kay Kirkham (Logan, UT: Everton Publishers, 1974). Kirkham's book has indexes and maps for a number of US cities including: San Francisco, Los Angeles, NY and Chicago. This book is available in many libraries, including the Family History Library where they have it on microfiche.

Michele, New York City was a little different that most places at that time in that people were not necessarily buried in a cemetery so close to home. About that time there were cemeteries opening up in Brooklyn that served the New York City population as well. Therefore, you wouldn't necessarily find people living in Ward 3 buried in a cemetery in Ward 3 or an adjacent ward. Two big ones that were around earlier are Green-Wood Cemetery (http://www.green-wood.com/) and Cypress Hills (http://cypresshillscemetery.org/). I had an ancestor who was living in Ward 10 in New York City buried in Cypress Hills in Brooklyn in 1849. Best of luck with your research.

Ward boundaries often changed from one census to the next. Be sure you are using a Ward map for the census year in question.

The Board for Certification of Genealogists will present a webinar on this subject free to the public at 8pm EDT 19 May 2015. Jeanne Larzalere Bloom, CG (sm), will use the language of weaving and the work of distinguished philosopher Stephen Toulmin to deal with this perennial issue in writing up genealogical research. *Seating is limited for this webinar. Please register early and sign in early to avoid disappointment. * The board is an independent certifying body and author of the updated 2014 *Genealogy Standards*. Jeanne Larzalere Bloom, CG, is president of the BCG board of trustees and a full-time professional researcher specializing in Chicago and Cook County research, forensic genealogy, problem solving, and multi-generational family histories. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in history from the University of Illinois at Chicago and a second-year certificate from the University of Chicago's publishing program. Her interest in genealogy began much earlier. Rather than having her grandmother read her a story before naptime, Jeanne would ask to hear a story about when she was a little girl. “We are pleased to offer this informative webinar,” said BCG treasurer Michael Ramage, CG. “The Board for Certification of Genealogists strives to foster public confidence in genealogy by promoting an attainable, uniform standard of competence and ethics. Educating all family historians is part of this mission.” *There is no charge, but space is limited. *Please register for Jeanne Larzalere Bloom, CG, “The Family Tapestry: Integrating Proof Arguments into the Genealogical Narrative,” on 19 May 2015, 8:00 PM EDT (7 CDT, 6 MDT, 5 PDT) at: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/4634996031472159746 After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
