What the 1900 Census reveals about the Deedy family
1 Comments Published by Jane on Tuesday, April 08, 2008 at 9:10 PM.
The first time the Deedy family appears in the Worcester Census is in 1900 - while Edward and Hannah are still newlyweds. The street name is a bit difficult to make out - but I believe it reads 3 Ellsworth Street. This is the only time I have found Deedy spelled as Deady when associated with Edward & Hannah. 1900 United State Federal CensusIt is unclear if the spelling of the last name is a clerical error, or if this is the spelling Edward and Hannah gave at the time. I am hoping to find a marriage certificate for the pair which may help clear this little mystery up.

Hi Jane:
the address where Edward and Hannah Deady were living in 1900 is 3, ELLSWORTH Street.
I have also found ship's manifests for the arrival of an Alex Deady aboard the SS Pavonia in 1896 and a William Deady aboard the SS Saxonia in 1901. Both these young men gave as their final destination their brother, Edward Deady of Ellsworth Street, Worcester.
