Pearl G Benckert

Could someone with access to ancestry look up the information for a Pearl G Benckert
Pittsburgh Ward 12, Allegheny, PA Birth abt 1883. I need the names and ages of the other household
members.

Thanks in advance,

Year: 1910; Census Place: Pittsburgh Ward 12, Allegheny, Pennsylvania;
Roll: T624_1303; Page: 15A; Enumeration District: 440

Ancestry has the last named indexed as Shrom, but the first letter looks
like a G to me.

Year: 1920;Census Place: Ingram, Allegheny, Pennsylvania; Roll:
T625_1513; Page: 11B; Enumeration District: 154
Banckert, Charles, 44, born PA, parents born PA, clerk, railroad
Pearl, wife, 38, born PA, parents born PA
Lucille, daughter, 15, born PA
Betty, daughter, 5, born PA

The 1930 Federal Census has them living in Wilkinsburg, Allegheny
County, and the only daughter living with them is Bettie, aged 15.
Wilkinsburg, Allegheny, Pennsylvania; Roll: 1993; Page: 14B; Enumeration
District: 872

I've not yet been able to find anything on Pearl's family. The last
name is giving me a few problems <grin>.

Hope that helps,
Cathy

Thank you for the assist. I have Pearl's family from pre 1910 but the Heritage quest image for 1910
was virtually un-readable for Pearl's married name and her husbands name. I took a chance and
searched for Pearl in Allegheny in 1910 on Ancestry and found the entry for Pearl G. Benckert and
guessed it was her. You have confirmed it for me. I am still not sure the last name is Benckert
but at least I have his first name now. Thanks again.

Cathy,

I checked the Heritage Quest image for the above page but it shows as enumeration district 2-867 and
no mention of Pearl and family??? I looked around the other nearby pages with out success. Is the
page no maybe transposed?

Thanks,

I copied and pasted the census information directly from ancestry, so I
went and checked it against the page itself.

The information at the top of the page is:
State: Pennsylvania
County: Allegheny
Incorporated Place: Wilkinsburg Borough
Ward of city: 3
Enumeration District No.: 2-872
Supervisor's District No.: 14
Sheet Number: 14B
The family starts on line 75, spelling Benkert

I went back in and chose state, then county, then town and found them in
district 872, sheet 14B as ancestry shows. Ancestry shows 53 pages for
that district, and the family is on the 28th page. I don't know how
Heritage Quest sets up the images/pages.

I got it now. Heritage obviously numbers the pages differently than Ancestry. Heritage shows 130

pages for ward three so they must break out every single page rather than pairs of sheets as a page.
Once I got that page 14 was sheet 14 I was finally able to close in on it. This is how it was
listed in Heritage.

1930 > PENNSYLVANIA > ALLEGHENY > 3-WD WILKINSBURG BORO, Series: T626 Roll: 1993 Page: 117

Thanks for all the assistance.

You're welcome.

Do you want info on Pearl's siblings, or were you just interested in
Pearl herself? Or her husband (although I did already try to find him
prior to their marriage, but didn't have much luck using the spellings I
knew or by using soundex).

Take care,
Cathy

I have Pearl's family going way back and forward. I just couldn't read her married name in the
Heritage Census. I appreciate the offer.
