1860 CENSUS BALTIMORE CITY MD WARD 2 (Transcriber's notes) (Reel #653-458) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Transcribed by--Pauline Leitner (email address--PLeitner@aol.com) Proof read by---Robert Leitner 19722 Meadowbrook Road Hagerstown MD 21742 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Every effort has been made to accurately transcribe the early handwriting of several different enumerators. Even though all pages were signed by A Pindell the writing was very different. The page numbers are listed consecutively with odd numbers appearing in the upper left hand corner of every other page and the even numbers in the upper right corner. Ward 2 page numbers start over with 1 on the left but the handwritten number on the right side of the page is the consecutive page from the beginning of the reel. A total of 610 pages. Some of the many names that were abbreviated are: Alex*n=Alexander, And*w=Andrew, Benj*n=Benjamin, Dan*l=Daniel, Eliz*th=Elizabeth, Fred*k=Frederick, Fred*ka=Fredericka, Marg*t=Margaret, Mich*l=Michael, Pat*k=Patrick, Rich*d=Richard, Sam*l=Samuel, Wash*n=Washington. Obvious errors are denoted in the remarks column such as a one year old in school, or an adult worker listed in school. Or a male or female who could be the opposite. An asterisk (*) is used in a name when a letter is not clear. Some of the errors in spelling: Wertemberg, Darmstadd, Labourer, Segar maker, etc. There are two identical microfilmed pages numbered 170 on the microfilm reel, I transcribed only one of the identical pages.
