A census taker might have visited a house on a later date, but the information he collected was supposed to be about the people who were in the house on the census day. The basic census enumeration unit was the county. Each county was divided into enumeration districts, one for each enumerator. The completed forms were sent to the Commerce Department?s Census Office in Washington, D.C.Federal censuses are usually reliable, depending on the knowledge of the informant and the care of the census enumerator. Information may have been given to a census taker by any member of the family or by a neighbor. Some information may have been incorrect or deliberately falsified. https://www.myheritage.com/research/collection-10127/1860-united-states-federal-census?s=234878051&itemId=8993136-&groupId=7b6561dbb76137f2dfd0b2278b0a51a4&action=showRecord&indId=individual-234878051-1502953 Certainty: 3 Calvin D Alden Gender: Male Birth: Circa 1816 - Massachusetts, United States Residence: 1860 - The Town Of Fairhaven, Bristol, Massachusetts, USA Age: 44 Wife (implied): Sarah M Alden Children (implied): Lucy J Alden, Henrietta E Alden Census: Show detailsHide details Township:The Town Of FairhavenSeries:M653Image:403 County:BristolSheet:46 State:MassachusettsFamily:370 Date:1860-00-00Line:38 See household members research/collection-10127/1860-united-states-federal-census?s=234878051&itemId=8993136-&groupId=7b6561dbb76137f2dfd0b2278b0a51a4&action=showRecord (Calvin D Alden); 44 Wife (implied); research/collection-10127/1860-united-states-federal-census?s=234878051&itemId=8993137-&groupId=7b6561dbb76137f2dfd0b2278b0a51a4&action=showRecord (Sarah M Alden); 39 Daughter (implied); research/collection-10127/1860-united-states-federal-census?s=234878051&itemId=8993138-&groupId=7b6561dbb76137f2dfd0b2278b0a51a4&action=showRecord (Lucy J Alden); 14 Daughter (implied); research/collection-10127/1860-united-states-federal-census?s=234878051&itemId=8993139-&groupId=7b6561dbb76137f2dfd0b2278b0a51a4&action=showRecord (Henrietta E Alden); 10
