Searched for: HER 1930 CENSUS. Two shapes, and the first was built on the wrong assumption: (a) THE FAMILY'S COUNTY. Her parents and every sibling are in Northampton Co., Pa. in 1930, so: 1930 census (coll. 6224), ?name=_Snyder&birth=1895_new+jersey-usa&birth_x=1-0-0&residence=_northampton-pennsylvania-usa_2191&residence_x=1-0-0_1-0&count=50 — 38 rows, all read. Her father's own household [D.667] was checked directly as well. (b) THE HUSBAND, NATIONWIDE, NO PLACE FILTER: ?name=Marshall_Snyder&name_x=1_1&birth=1895&birth_x=1-0-0&count=50.
Result: FOUND → [D.855]. (a) is a null: of 38 Snyders of her cohort in Northampton County, none is her, and she is not in [D.667] either. (b) returned exactly ONE ROW IN THE UNITED STATES — Marshall A Snyder, spouse Marjorie C, Knowlton, Warren, New Jersey. Identification firm on four cells: her age 34 (b. 30 Sep 1895), New Jersey birth with both parents New Jersey, and both children present under the names [J.547] gives — Bettie C. = ‘a daughter, Elizabeth C. Snyder’, Richard K. = ‘a son, Richard, died in 1978’. AND IT DATES HER MARRIAGE, which had no date at all: ages at first marriage 27 and 26 ⇒ about 1922. THE LESSON, THE MIRROR OF Ruth C. (Cooper) Williams's THE SAME MORNING:** a married woman's county is her HUSBAND's, not her family's. Hers went the opposite way to the one assumed — back across the Delaware into the county she was born in.
