Treasure Chest Thursday - 1930 U.S. Census Record for Lyle L. Carringer Family


It's Treasure Chest Thursday - time to look in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history and genealogy musings.

The treasure today is the 1930 United States Census record for my Carringer grandparents and their family in San Diego, San Diego County, California: 


The entry for the Lyle L. Carringer family:


The extracted information for the family, residing at 2130 Fern Street in San Diego, taken on 5 April 1930, is:

*  Lyle L. Carringer - Head, owns home, worth $10,000, has a radio, male, white, age 38, married, married at age 26, did not attend school, can read and write, born California, father born Pennsylvania, mother born Wisconsin, can speak English, occupation is Office Work, works in Dry Goods store, a Worker, employed on last working day, a U.S. military veteran, in W.W. (World War).
*  Emily K. Carringer - Wife, female, white, age 30, married, married at age 18, did not attend school, can read and write, born Illinois, father born New Jersey, mother born Canada English, can speak English, no occupation
*  Betty V. Carringer - Daughter, female, white, age 10, Single, attending school, can read and write, born California, father born California, mother born Illinois, can speak English, no occupation
*  Georgia K. Auble - Mother-in-Law, female, white, age 61, Widow, did not attend school, can read and write, born Canada English, father born Canada English, mother born Canada English, Native language English, immigrated to U.S. in 1874, a Naturalized citizen, can speak English, no occupation.

The source citation for the census image is:

1930 United States Federal Census, San Diego County, California, population schedule, San Diego City, Enumeration District (ED) 116, Sheet 5A, Dwelling #142, Family #148, Lyle L. Carringer household; digital images, Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com : accessed 19 June 2012), citing National Archives microfilm publication T626, Roll 192.

I see only one probable error in this census record:

*  I believe that Georgia (Kemp) Auble immigrated in about 1889, rather than 1874.  She was in the 1881 Canada Census with her father, step-mother and brother, but was not in the 1891 Canada Census with them.  In the 1920 U.s. Census, the immigration date is given as 1889;  in the 1910 U.S. Census, the immigration date is 1890; in the 1900 U.S. Census, the immigration date is 1889.
