1920 U. S. Census
Weakley County, Tennessee

Transcribed from Microfilm Roll T625 of the National Archives


Civil District 2


We thank Rebecca Holder for her time and efforts in transcribing this district ! District 2 is the largest in 1920, about the size of any 3 other districts, and the writing is VERY hard to read. She also transcribed Districts 18 & 20  - Thank you, Rebecca! You can email her at Rebecca

Note: Transcribing a census is not an easy task. There are many opportunites for errors to be made along the way, from the original enumerator (census taker) who often spelled names as they sounded, to the handwritten copies that were made, down to our transcribing. If you find any errors or know of any corrections, please feel free to email  LuAnn Lawton

Key:
Last Name - First Name/ Relationship to Head of household/Sex/Race/Age/Marital Status/ Person's Place of birth/Father's Place of birth/Mother's Place of Birth/Occupation
