Census - Carrie Tanquary Sinclair

[Aussie possum]

I have had a couple of recent posts trying to sort out this Carrie Tanquary/Carey Townsend puzzle.  Well I am making progress.  The death certificate of my James Townsend arrived, and was all I hoped for.  After 5 years of researching, I have finally found "my" James, and proved it beyond all doubt.  The informant on the death certificate is Carrie Tanquary Sinclair, (his stepdaughter) so that proves she is still alive in 1923, and married.

Unfortunately I have not been able to find when and where the marriage took place, but I am hoping someone can find them on the US census and see if I can narrow down a timeframe.

Thanks
