Census Sunday - GARDNER and DIETZ


......continuing with the GARDNER-SMITH union

.....according to the US Census there are 3 children for this couple and 1 child from Jane's second husband

I only have information on one son, the first son Harry B GARDNER born 1863 in Glasgow, Scotland.

So I will begin with Harry B GARDNER marrying Elizabeth DIETZ 
                         MY GREAT GRANDPARENTS
                                                     CENSUS ACCOUNTING

I first found the DIETZ family in the 1870 US Census in Allegheny, Allegheny, Pennsylvania. The parents came to the USA as a married couple from Germany around 1865. I believe this is the first USA census I will find them in. Don't believe that Germany has census. So will need to find the village/parish that parents were born in order to go back any further in the DIETZ family.   
Now the 1870 census shows Elizabeth born in Pennsylvania and later census show her born in Maryland. I have not found her birth records in either place yet. My thought that they entered into the USA in Baltimore Maryland, Elizabeth was born, and then they moved to Pennsylvania.

==================================================

.......AND the 1880 US Census was the first census I found Harry/Henry age 16 in Columbiana Co., Ohio with his mother and step father and siblings........  I should be able to find Henry/Harry and his parents in the 1870 US Census, but so far no luck............ and I sure have not found any thing useful about Middleton Twp, Columbiana Co., Ohio to help in my research.

================================== 

22 January 1936 Harry died but Elizabeth lived till 2 May 1951

NO 1940 for Harry 
There should be a 1940 & 1950 for Elizabeth.........  I have tried finding the 1940 but nothing yet. I have looked for her living with one of her children's homes. I know that Elizabeth died in 1951 at her daughter  Margaret Schultz home in Wooster OHIO but she is not there on the census in 1940. I have checked the daughters, now I am checking the sons homes.
