Thread: US census lookup - 1930

Would someone be able to do a lookup for James Edmuund Johnson born 1 Jan 1926 Pocatello Idaho. Father John and mother Juanita. Would like to find out who he is living with.

Ed

Hi jcoltee,

There's a possible but he's transcribed as James Bud Johnson; there's who could be his sister with him - Cleo age 7.

Any use?

I think it most likely is who you are looking for.

Living: Pocatello, Bannock, Idaho

Carl ??? looks like Jurlo or Junlo, age 25, Washington
Florence (as above) 24, Iowa
Betty A (as above) 2, Idaho
Gene? (asa above) Idaho
Cleo Johnson, 7, lodger, Idaho
James Bud Johnson, lodger, 4yrs 3months, Idaho
Caroline ?????????? looks like Farsy or Farsz, mother in law, 45, Nebraska.

Thanks slizzy

Looks as if it could be him but not really sure. I know he had a sister but no idea if younger or older nor what her name was. Sounds weird doesn't it.

jcoltee, the age of James is almost spot on. I believe the census was taken 1st April. The image isn't very clear and Bud could be say Edw. What is Bud in the USA a short form of? Is it always a variant of Buddy?
