Hi everyone, The census was enumerated under the head of household. If the farm was owned by someone living there, then that would be the person enumerated. If it was leased, then whoever was "in charge", so that could be more dicey. By the way Bomar as a middle name is a very very strong argument for a Halifax connection at some point:) Bobbi Estes -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Wilma Norton" <[email protected]> > I had assumed this was William Alexander Younger and wife, Elizabeth Martin. > Have not been able to attach him to a parent.
