Searched for: HER 1950 CENSUS, searched under her MARRIED name. Her own file made that safe to assume rather than guess: her husband's 1997 obituary says they had been married 52 years [G.617], putting the marriage about 1944-45, so she was certainly a Kilpatrick on census day.

?name=Jean_Kilpatrick&birth=1923&birth_x=1-0-0&count=50 - 49 rows, ALL READ on one page. No residence filter was needed.Result: FOUND -> [D.867], row 2: Jean C Kilpatrick, wife of Frank, Andover, Sussex Co., born New Jersey about 1924, with son Robert C and daughter Barbara J. Three things the plate adds: she was KEEPING HOUSE, not in paid work, unlike her sister Elizabeth Louise (Cooper) Maher the same week; her husband was a self-employed ROAD CONTRACTOR working 60 hours; and because the five-year-old fell on a SAMPLE LINE, the sheet also places the household at the same farm in April 1949. It also produced a daughter the catalog did not have.

Searched for: THE 1940 CENSUS, which at this age is the HOUSEHOLD's record and not this person's. Searched on the father Fredrick Driscoll Cooper; full parameters are recorded once, at Fredrick Driscoll Cooper.
Result: FOUND -> [D.865]: the whole household of NINE at Andover, household 117, Main St, rented at $12. ONE PLATE CLOSED FOUR SEPARATE WORKLIST GAPS -- Jean Kathryn (Cooper) Kilpatrick, Laura Bell (Cooper) Taylor, Elizabeth Louise (Cooper) Maher and Living each carried an independent '1940 census, no search recorded' -- and covered Frederick William Cooper and Gary R Cooper in passing. The lesson is the one the sweep keeps re-learning: a child's census gap is never the child's, it is the household's.
