Be aware that census ages are not always correct. One of my ancestors changed her DOB from 1867 to 1873! Also census brthplaces often changed and people used their middle names sometimes - so when you are searching the censuses where they are missing be wary of that. One of my ancestors name was Charles Bowden Allen - but he also used, Charles Allen, Bowden Allen, Bowden Charles Allen and even Allen Bowden! So try everything! Hope this helps! -Kat |
