Bloomfield / Marks

Veronica,

Here is some census info for you. Bear in mind that “census ages” are sometimes best taken with a grain of salt……..

1930 St. Clair County, Mi. census, Ennumeration District (ED) 14; Fort Gratiot Township; 11 April; page 150A:

BLOOMFIELD

..George; farm laborer; male, white, 48, married@28; born Mich.

..Lavina; wife; female, white, 38; married@20; born Mich.

..David; son; 15; born Mich.

..James; son; 13; born Mich.

..STANLEY; son; 12; born Mich.*******

..Velma; dau; 8, born Mich.

George’s father listed as b.Mich.; mother as b.Canada

Lavina’s father b.NY; mother b. Mich.

(that should also be taken with a grain of salt since I found their naturalization dates on earlier census records.)

………………..

This info will be should on subsequent posts as:

Mich, Mich, Can (using George as an example)

(David is listed as naturalized in 1883.)

David and Elenor have been married for only 6 yrs, meaning Elenor is not George’s mother.

Levi & Glen are obviously BLOOMFIELDs due to their ages, not LOUCKS as recorded.

I did not find David Bloomfield on the 1880 U.S. census altho I may think of someway of finding him since he was naturalized in 1883, he should have been in the U.S. in 1880, so if I find anything else I’ll post it here.
