Treasure Chest Thursday - 1920 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 1920 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 is:




The extracted information for the family, residing at 2054 Harrison Avenue in San Diego, taken on 5 January 1920, is:

*  Lyle L. Carringer - Head, rents, male, white, age 28, married, did not attend school, can read and write, born California, father born Pennsylvania, mother born Kansas, can speak English, occupation is Auditor, works in Dry Goods store, a Worker.
*  Emily K. Carringer - Wife, female, white, age 20, married, did not attend school, can read and write, born Illinois, father born New Jersey, mother born Canada English, can speak English, no occupation.
*  Georgia K. Auble - Mother-in-Law, female, white, age 50, Widow, immigrated to U.S. in 1889, a naturalized citizen, naturalized in 1898, did not attend school, can read and write, born Canada English, father born Canada English, mother born Canada English, can speak English, no occupation.
*  Betty Carringer - Daughter, female, white, age 5/12, Single, born California, father born California, mother born Illinois.

The source citation for this census image is:

1920 United States Federal Census, San Diego County, California, Population Schedule, San Diego city; ED 341, Sheet 3B, Lyle Carringer household; digital image, Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com); citing National Archives Microfilm Publication T625, Roll 132.

I see only one probable error in this census record:

*  Lyle Carringer's mother was born in Wisconsin, not in Kansas.  However, she lived in Kansas during her teenage years, and probably talked about it.  We don't know who provided the information, but it may have been Lyle's mother-in-law, Georgia Auble, who had known the Carringer family for only two years.
