Census Records

1900 Census

Dorchester County, East New Market town
Enumerator J. Harry Howard
June 21 & 28, 1900

The 1900 census was taken as of June 1, 1900, and was to be completed in 2 weeks in places of 8,000 inhabitants or more.  Enumerators were much more closely supervised during the 1900 Census.  Enumerators used individual census slips for obtaining a correct return for any person (particularly lodgers and boarders) absent at the time of the enumerator’s visit. Additionally, ‘‘absent family’’ schedules were used for securing a complete record for any person residing within the enumeration district, but temporarily absent.

Household number, followed by owned or rented (O/R), name, relationship, race (W/B/M), sex (M/F), month of birth, year of birth, age , marital status (M/S/W), years married, for females number of children born, and number of children living.  Then for all persons place of birth and the place of birth of their father and mother, and then occupation.
