[Genealib] New Jersey State Census date for 1895

[Paula Manzella]

Hi,

   I checked our microfilm and there is no single date listed on any of 
the tally sheets or enumeration sheets.  So you can get at least an 
idea, here are the dates the 1895 enumerations were "sworn and 
submitted" for a number of towhships.   Of these, Palmyra is the 
smallest community and wasn't very rural.  Northampton and Manfield were 
the largest and contained both villages and rural areas.

    * Lumberton, submitted 27 June 1895
    * Mansfield, 1 July 1895
    * Medford, 24 June 1895
    * Mount Laurel, 17 June 1895
    * New Hanover, 17 June 1895
    * Northampton, 29 June 1895
    * Palmyra, 21 June 1895
    * Pemberton, 27 June 1895.

  If you need a more concrete date, you might want to contact the New 
Jersey State Archives reference staff directly < 
http://www.state.nj.us/state/darm/links/reference.html >.    The staff 
should have access to the legislation regarding the Census.

   And one final note, though Ancestry has digitized the 1895 NJ Census, 
they have only included the enumeration sheets which have no dates.  The 
summary sheets are currenly only on the microfilm.

Hope this helps,
