Isn't that beautiful! I always think of enumerators as grumpy old men, surely that one was female! Margaret in Canada |

Perhaps the kind-hearted enumerator was a doting grandparent?! Lx |

I bet he wouldn' t have said that 12 months later when the 'dear little baby' was teething (like my little granddaughter)!! Seriously though, a 'nice touch' - It shows at least that some of them were human, even if illiterate !! Dea x |

Guess I owe William M. Gurney an apology for presuming he was a woman. Maybe I owe all men an apology ...but naw, I'm not going that far! Margaret in Canada |

A census enumerator is the person who went around the district issuing the census forms (schedules) and then went and collected them up again after census night. if anyone couldn't fill in their own form he would help and on going home he would then copy the information on the schedules into their official books known as census enumerators' books. The pages we can view today are the pages from the enumerators books. Merry |
