Didn't get the 1920 image, dettori  ---sent my personal email ??    FamilySearch pilot does not have 1920.  Glad to take a look at the address along the left side column.   They are often hard to read or figure out if you are not already familiar with the town.   Happy to give it a go!

didn't get it  --- street name is usually written in vertically along the far left column  -- You might check the previous census page to see if the page is a continuation with house no 1 and  2, maybe ??  The street name was often missed by the enumerators, however .......  and why do I think this could be one of those times  :-[

Know Anthony died in 1928  --  but is Maria at the same address in 1930?  Now that would just be too easy, huh?

Hi Leoprechaun.

Trying to find other census - came across this interesting 1900 census which was split into 2 families but they are all living at 5 Auburn Street. Wilkes Barre. Ward 1. Luzerne.
It looks as if the whole family immigrated to the USA  ?
This was on one sheet.
Thomas Mullin 72 Widowed. Immigrated 1882
Peter Mullin 21  Single Immigrated 1882
Mary Mullin 28  Single Immigrated 1882
Anna Fleming 26 Boarder from Ireland.

Then on this sheet this looks like a daughter Ann and her family with Thomas Mullen who appeared on the 1920 census with Anthony and Marie or Mary.


Ann Cawley 38
Patrick Cawley 17 Mary Cawley 14 Anna Cawley 13 Kathrine Cawley 9 John Cawley 9 Thomas Cawley 8 Francis Cawley 7 James Cawley 5 William Cawley 2 Mildred Cawley 2/12
Thomas D Mullen 1/12

It would appear Thomas Mullen travelled on the SS Wisconsin 17 May 1883 with at least 5 children - one of them Peter mentioned on the census above.  Names are so tiny - difficult to read.
