The 1855 census for Erin was collected by James Hollenbeck from June 4 thru
June 29, 1855. I was able to copy the original records from microfilm to
transcribe from. I looked in the 1850 & 1860 census for every family to compare
to the 1855 census because of the bad handwriting. James Hollenbeck spelled the
names just the way they sounded. For instance he spelled Hiram-Hyrum,
Elizabeth-Elithabeth. His 4 & 7’s looked a lot alike. He spelled Orange Co as
Oren throughout the census. I didn’t copy the names as he spelled them. He
didn’t fill in a lot of the blanks. He only put down how many years the head of
the household was in the county not the rest of the family. He only filled in
child for the first child in column 9 for relationship. He left column 4 empty
for households 83-87 & 90-96.
If I found names in the other census records that matched up to the 1855, I
put parenthesis around them. If I couldn’t find the family and had to guess at a
name, I put a question mark after them.
You can find the copies from the microfilm in the back of the notebook that
I used. The notebook is located at the Steele Memorial Library in Elmira, NY. If
you can correct any names feel free to correct them. The microfilm can be found
at the LDS church in Horseheads or soon at the Steele Memorial Library.
