1940 Census

Dorchester County, East New Market Town
Enumerator Charles Helsby
April 2 - April 10, 1940

Many of the questions on the 1940 census are the standard ones: name, age, gender, and race, education, and place of birth.  But the 1940 census also asked many new questions, some reflecting concerns of the Great Depression.  The 1940 census also has a supplemental schedule for two names on each page.  The sampling in 1940 was the forerunner to the Current Population Survey which has been conducted every month since 1946 to measure the nations unemployment rate.  The supplemental schedule asks the place of birth of the person's father and mother; the person's usual occupation, what they were doing the week of March 24–30, 1940; and for all women who are or have been married, has this woman been married more than once and age at first marriage.

I have provided some of the data for people who lived in the town of East New Market in 1940.  For more detailed data click here for Images of the 1940 Census for East New Market.

Charles Helsby who enumerated East New Market in 1940 had terrible handwriting.  The volunteers who created the index at Ancestry.com misidentified names for about one third of the households.  Neil Frampton who lived in East New Market in 1940 and I were able to decipher almost all of the names.  If any corrections need to be made, let me know.
