Find Ancestors

Hi,
Could someone look up two names for me on the 1930 census Ancestry World wide please. Both of them are in USA.

Mary DOVER, born in England in 1869. Aged 61 in 1930 and living in Raleigh County, West Virginia. Her husband was Joseph DOVER.

Margaret GRAHAM, born in England in 1900, aged 30 in 1930.
Living in Raleigh County, West Virginia. Her husband was
William W GRAHAM. They may be living in a town called Crab Orchard.

Margaret was daughter to the above Mary Dover, so could possibly be living in same home.

Please could you include the ED numbers for them as well.
Thanks.

Thanks very much Margee. Did you manage to see the
Enumeration District reference for them please?

Thanks Margee for Mary and Margaret's census info.
I'm trying to find the Enumeration District reference for both the entries please.
Although I haven't access to Ancestry World wide, I do have access to a limited free trial for the 1940 census, and I need the
Enumeration District reference to try and find them in 1940, as that census is not indexed.

ED for Margaret Graham in 1930


West Virginia > Raleigh > Beckley > District 16 > 43

ED 41-16

Have added the ED's, Jan. Sorry I missed that.

Many thanks to Margee and Gins for your help. You've both been a big help.

The ED might have changed by 1940.....been there, done that!



The official 1940 census site will convert any changed ED from 1930 to 1940, just add the 1930 ED (41-16) and it will convert it to the ref for 1940

Thanks for the link Gins.
Wish me luck that I can find them in 1940! :-)

Hi Gins,
Thanks for Wallace's SS number, and for the idea of looking for him - I'll try that.
I've just got my notes out and looked at the last known address for them which was in 1943. Unfortunately its a different address they lived at in 1930, so I'm hoping that they didn't move until after the 1940 census! I'm going to search for them later on, as I'm going to have something to eat now.

Heres Mary's birth by the looks of it

Ignore that tip on looking for Wallace, I forgot you cant search by name for the 1940 yet!!

Hi Gins,
Thanks for looking for Mary Graham's birth for me.
I am actually looking for these families on behalf of a friend of mine, and I think she already has most of the information up till the 1930 census. I appreciate you looking for me.
Thanks again.

PS, I'm having a giggle after reading your researching speil! :-)

Hi Gins, I'm back again now.
Awww how nice of you to look through 62 pages for me - a big thank you for that. You're a star! That's one section eliminated for me.
Thanks for William's death date. Now I know to look for Margaret as a widow. I'm going to start looking for them now.
