I was hoping he was living near her a few short months before their marriage--but it didn't do the trick (although it might not hurt to try it again).<br /><br />I search Davis County, Iowa, for men his age born in New York or Canada--without a name--thinking that there wouldn't be that many men in the area from that location. There weren't too many, but none were a close enough match.

Does the marriage record list where he resided at the time of the marriage?<br />I have used my usual tricks to find the hidden on the census and your guy is definitely hidden or just plain not there.<br />DebraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24153667.post-62704590151548984282013-08-31T17:47:08.574-05:002013-08-31T17:47:08.574-05:00Oh...this is a tough one!

It's possible too that he's simply nearby under a spelling or transcription that I've not guessed is him. <br /><br />Another real possibility is that he's working as a day laborer on a farm and simply did not get counted.<br />Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116684507094892060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24153667.post-38770516185764967162013-08-31T17:18:08.007-05:002013-08-31T17:18:08.007-05:00Most people are missed in a census because they ar...Most people are missed in a census because they are moving from one location to another at the time the census is being taken.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
