Hei! From what you have written here, I guess you already know of the 1910 Peoria county, Illinois census...It listed father Frank Carpenter age 34 (born in Illinois) and wife Martha age 26 (immigrated from Germany, 1894)...their children are listed including Alfred W.Carpenter age 10.Have you found the 1900 census with Frank Carpenter?...Frank and Martha were married about 1900 (married 10 years as of the 1910 census).mvh Patty

Patty! Yes, I have my information about Frank Carpenter and Martha from Cencus 1910. I have not seen Frank Carpenter in Census 1900.Ann-Mary! Du har nok funnet familien til 'min' Frank i 1920 og 1930, men de fra 1880, 1900 og 1910 tror jeg tilhører en annen familie.

Ang familien i innlegg 3.PEPLOW, MARTHA MAE, Born Feb 1883 in Germany, Died May 25 1960 in Peoria, Illinois, USALenke

[Gjest Bengt E. Vesthagen]

Her er det noe jeg ikke får helt tak i. Håper du kan klargjøre dette for meg. Mener du at George Franklin Carpenter er den samme som den Frank Carpentier som jeg søker. Og at han er gift med Martha Mae Peplow. I såfall, hvordan kan de være nevnt i 1880 Censusen (3) når Martha er født i 1883.

[Gjest Patty Dahl]

Hei igjen Bengt! I don't know if this is 'your' Frank but thought I should enter it for you:1900 Illinois census, Mason county.. Frank Carpenter age 25, born Sept 1875 in Illinois, he is single. Mason county is next to Peoria county...mvh Patty

[Gjest Ann-Mary Engum]

Se bort fra innlegg 3 og 5.Mvh Ann-Mary

[Gjest Patty Dahl]

Hei 'over there'!I looked at the 1880 Vermillion county, Illinois census. Head of household is A. W. Carpenter age 30, married to Mary age 22...2 children George F. age 3 and Julia age 1.So perhaps what Ann-Mary was trying to indicate was that 'Geroge F' Carpenter, age 3 in the 1880 census might be your Frank from the 1910 census.Do I have that right??mvh Patty

[Gjest Patty Dahl]

In the 1900 Peoria county Illinois census there is a George Carpenter, born August of 1878...he is single.Is this the same fellow as George F., age 3, from the 1880 census?mvh Patty

[Gjest Bengt E. Vesthagen]

Jeg føler at noe er riv ruskende galt her, uten at jeg kan sette fingren på hva det er. Altfor store sprik i alder og navn. Dette trenger jeg tid på å studere nærmere.Patty, Is Carpentier and Carpenter same name with different spelling or is it two different names? Descendants using Carpentier.

[Gjest Patty Dahl]

Hei Bengt!Oh...this is interesting!!! They are 2 different names...for sure... Which one is the 'right' one? I do find an Alfred Carpentier who died Jan 1978 in Peoria (per SSDI)...Did the family in the USA spell it Carpentier...?mvh Patty

[Gjest Patty Dahl]

I wonder if the name has been misspelled in the census... I searched a bit for Carpentier...some were from Belgium...some from France.so I searched for Carpenter, in Illinois, born in Belgium (assuming the name was misspelled Carpenter in the census...)that takes you on a new 'thread' (path)... just some ideas!! mvh Patty

[Gjest Bengt E. Vesthagen]

You've found the right Alfred Carpentier, (12) who died in Peoria in 1978. The family in the USA uses the spelling Carpentier.

[Gjest Bengt E. Vesthagen]

An obituary will of course resolve the matter, but where can I search to find it?.

[Gjest Patty Dahl]

Hei Bengt! Why don't you go to the web site for the public library...here it is www.peoriapubliclibrary.org You can email a question to them and ask if they can search for the obit for Alfred...explain what you found in the SSDI.mvh Patty
