Result: FOUND ON THE FIRST ROW. 'Elnore Cooper, Tulsa, Tulsa, Oklahoma, abt 1882, Iowa, Head' = coll. 6061 rec. 79852921, ED 228 sheet 8B lines 93-96 -> downloaded, filed and catalogued as [D.814]. The household is Elnore 38 head (single, bank teller), Maud 49 sister, Helen 5 daughter, and a housekeeper Mattie Smith. WHY ELEVEN EARLIER SEARCHES MISSED IT: every 1920 search run for this family - on this file, Charles Franklin Cooper, Elden Cooper, Ivan L. Cooper and Helen Maurine (Cooper) Redding - was scoped to RESIDENCE KANSAS, because Kansas is where her husband is documented in 1910, 1915 and 1930. The lead that broke it was sitting in [J.346], held since 2026-10-04.

Searched for: Whether her husband Charles Franklin Cooper was in Tulsa too. 1920 US Federal Census (coll. 6061), surname Cooper, NO given name, NO birth year, residence TULSA, OKLAHOMA (exact), 50 per page.

Result: THE PLACE RECIPE DOES NOT BOUND A BIG CITY. It returned 125,146 rows in 2,503 pages - i.e. every Cooper in the 1920 census, RANKED with the Tulsa ones first, not filtered to Tulsa. All 50 rows on page 1 are Tulsa, and none is this family; but there is no way to tell from the result set where the Tulsa rows stop, so this is NOT a complete county list and must not be written up as one. (In Reno and Rice counties the same recipe did bound the list, because a few dozen rows exhausted the county.) The useful search for him turned out to be the Ohio-birth one - see Charles Franklin Cooper. He is not in her household on [D.814].
