[or-roots] need help reading census

[Steve & Ronda Howard]

Thanks Barb,

I've never heard of the Can English, but that makes sense.  I'll ponder the
Mason possibility.

The answer to the first question:

His mother was born Can English Which means born in Canada spoke English 

 

A guess on occupation is Mason

 

Franklins father was born Ger German.  He was born in Germany and spoke
German

Hi everyone,

I am trying to decipher what my husband's great grandfather did in 1910.
Would some of you try to decipher the information.  I would like to know the
place of birth of James Crocker's Mother, and the "general nature of
industry", the occupation of Horace (I think he had just graduated from High
School), and the place of birth of Franklin's Father (it was somewhere in
Germany).

 

Thanks!  James and Franklin's Father are two of my brick walls.
