Is Ward 3 of Cambridge Massachusetts available to view in the 1910 USA Federal Census?

CarolynRoss

My family (Herlihy) lived at 83-85 Winter Street Cambridge MA and I can not find any of them in the 1910 census search and when I read through the available pages I notice I do not see Ward 3 or Winter Street at all for that census. Thank you. Carolyn

There are 4 Enumeration Districts in Cambridge Ward 3 in the 1910 census:
https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/image/index?owc=QZZ7-L2M%3A133638101%2C137486201%2C139189101%3Fcc%3D1727033&cc=QZZQ-9WJ:133638101,137486201?cc=1727033
You can browse them to double check. You can use Steve Morse's ED finder to locate the most likely ED for 83 Winter Street if you have not done so. https://stevemorse.org/census/unified.html?year=1910

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much. I will try that!!

So using his lookup, the ED should be Middlesex 742 or 744 which are not on the list of ED's available to search at this time.

Checking the census finder on Ancestry, which permits a drill down to ED, ED 742 was in Ward 1, and ED 744 was in Ward 2, in 1910.
You can see all the Wards in Cambridge here: https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/image/index?owc=QZZQ-9WJ%3A133638101%2C137486201%3Fcc%3D1727033&cc=QZZQ-9W4:133638101?cc=1727033

Thank you! I did not know the wards had changed. I will try to find them that way. I am guessing the reason they are not coming up in the 1910 census under the name search might be misspelling.

Edited to add, there seems to be a technical issue with my computer viewing the census images on the Morse site despite my enabling pop-up. I will have to tinker with that but thank you very much for giving me something to go on!

If you want to share the given names and ages/years of birth, perhaps someone else can help you search.

Good luck!

I am trying to narrow down the unknowns for a specific brick wall I have. I am looking for either death records (or next step in their lives?) for brothers Timothy J Herlihy (born 12-15-1872) and his youngest brother William (born 12-31-1885). I last find them in the rented home at 83-85 Winter St in Cambridge Ma in 1912. It is quite possible they both died because life was hard in that area at the time or they might have moved away to work.

In 1913 no Herlihy's live at that address. I believe the census in 1910 will show them living at Winter St with their father and younger sisters Mary and Margaret. The father and Margaret died before 1913 and it was easy to find those records. Mary and her husband moved away from Winter St but raised Timothy's three living children.

There is a bit of extra trouble because several men of the same names live in Cambridge at the time. One of them (Timothy A) was born and died at times that would seem right for my relative, but he had a different family.

I have run out of ideas so I thought I would work forward from that census. I hope I can make that website work but I really appreciate having that new possibility.

Thank you for any suggestions.

Have you entered the family in the FamilySearch Tree? If you enter the data on the family members you have found, with attached sources, the hinting algorithm will try to find other records that match the family.

CarolynRoss

Yes, I have a tree but even the algorithms are not sure what happened to William and Timothy. Perhaps in time more information will come to light. Thank you for your help!!
