| Andrew and Emily Wenkel, 1940 Census |
This couple moved again, this time to 334 South Avenue in New Trier IL. They are both 40 years old, married, not attending school. Andrew completed 8th grade while Emily completed the first two years of High School. According to this census, they lived there five years previously in 1935. However, the census a year earlier shows a Madison Avenue address. What gives? He is a paid worker as an auto mechanic and has never been unemployed.
Well, we have to understand how the census was taken. If, when the enumerator came around, and they were both gone, they asked at the neighbors house. Neighbors don't always know where you lived five years earlier. That's the only explanation for the discrepancy.
