Hi Yvonne,

Not all the 1940 US Census is fully indexed yet - Wisconsin 76% .

Yes that is the right William.

I know he was living in Delafield nr Milwaukee As he moved back to Cook County November with wife Nellie and youngest daughters twins, Betty and Barbara in 1942 Information from an obituary

It is possibke he was living in Cook County in 1940

Brothers in law
George Grimes lived  Rock Island Illinois
Harry lived in Cook County
Thomas lived in Cook county

Other children

William m Joyce Karaswasz
Robert m Grace  Hornick
Eleanor m Henry Hahn
Audrey m Arthur Beyerfuss
Lilian m Kenneth September 1942

Thanks for your help.
