Beckerville Census, 1930

This small section of Manchester township only held a few families in 1930; it was actually known as 'Beckertown' in 1930.
Below is the information on the 1930 census from Beckertown.

Charles is the son of William and Theresa. In 1910, the family was living on Broad Hollow Rd, Babylon, Suffolk, NY. At that time William and Theresa claimed to have immigrated in 1879, although the 1930 census says 1877.
Theresa had given birth twice, and two living children in 1910--presumably William, jr. is the other, though he was not in the home in 1910. William was employed as a florist in 1910.

I have so far had no luck at all locating this family in any other records, census or otherwise.


Harry Brown immigrated in 1902. Harry H. Brown claimed to work in the aviation industry--most likely this was at the Naval Air Station at Lakehurst. In 1940, the family was still somewhere in Manchester, though possibly not at Beckerville (they no longer lived next door to the Beckers). They had added a few children as well...Florence (about 1931), Virginia (about 1932), and Donna (about 1939).
