This census is extremely hard to read. Most of the pages are very dark with large smudges. Other pages are too light to see the pen strokes. I have used question marks on names where I am unsure of the spelling. I have tried to do letter by letter transcriptions of the illegible names. In cases where I have used a second translation of the word, I have put it in parentheses. The first word is what I think the name is, the second word is what it COULD BE.
     The census taker was Charles Howes (Howis, Cowis). It looks like he started off using initials only; then, either he or someone else, tried to fill in the complete names between initials. His handwriting varied from day to day and house to house. There is one capital letter I have yet to understand. It looks like an N, but is not used as one. It could be an A.
    I hope this helps rather than hurts. If you find a family with question marks and you can fill in some of the question marks, please do so. This is an on-going work and I will be updating it as often as I can spend time in the library (about once a week). There about 50 lines per page and every other page is numbered, 100 names to a page number. I have not differentiated between the two faces of the page. A text version is here.
