How do I get information on individuals listed in the 1910 census?

Question

I am looking for information on John L. Briddes and his brother william.

John was married to Harriet and lived in Delaware. He was born about 1870.

Answer 1

John and Harriet lived in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, not the state of Delaware. That's a huge difference!

William lived in Philadelphia.

Answer 2

There are many different places to get information on the 1910 census, the best I have found is Ancestory.com.  You can pay by the month or by the year and they give you a 14 day free trial.  It has the most information of any of the pay sites.

Answer 3

Your local Family History Center, in an LDS church, has free census access to everyone, not just Mormons. Yo could look him up in 1870, if he was born then, 1880 for sure, 1900, 1910 and, if he lived that long, 1920 and 1930.

Is that what you mean? Your question could be

"How do I find out more details about the life of a man I already found on the 1910 census?"

or

"How do I see the census details of a man I [know / think / hope] is on the 1910 census?"

John L. Briddes Sr. listed his occupation as Laborer.  He had been married 1 time, and he and Harriet had been married for 16 years.  He immigrated from England in 1886.

Harriet B. had given birth to 8 children, 7 of whom were still living at the time of the 1910 Census.  She had been married 1 time also.  Harriet was born in Delaware (warning - - this could be Delaware County, PA...  or the state of Delaware!).

John's brother William appears to be a bit harder to find...  but more information would likely be helpful.
