Notes on the 1920 Census
  • The above census data was found about 1995 in a search by Marianne Garcher at the Allen County Library, Fort Wayne, Indiana. The record was located through the use of the Soundex system.
  • An attempt has been made to reproduce all data exactly as it is on the original record; some wording changes have been made for clarity and further information on the meaning of column headings is on the census sheet.
  • Both Dwelling Number and Family Number are artificial numbers used by the census enumerator.
  • If wish to explore any of this data further, please contact Dave directly.
  • In this record, Margaret corrects the error of the 1900 and 1910 census and indicates her father's birthplace as Ireland which is correct. She also indicates her mother's birthplace as Ireland instead of Canada. It is not known yet if this is correct, but it is does appear that she spent some time working these matters out with her brother and sister so the chances increase that her mother was born in Ireland.
  • Son Charles Jordan is missing from Margaret's family. He did not marry until 1924. He would have been 16. Son Herbert by 1920 was married and has his own census record.
  • Margaret was divorced not widowed at the time of the census. She divorced June 19, 1919.
  • As in the 1910 Census, Robert Graham is a roomer in the Margaret Jordan household. Margaret would marry him on June 28, 1920.
  • It was always said that Margaret was a piano player, organist at the Silent Movie Theaters. This record backs this up.
