George Liddy

[City Hall]

Hi,
I am trying to find a family relative in the 1940 US census. His name is George Liddy , born Ireland 1909. I can locate him in the 1920 Us census age 10 living with his parents in Cincinnati( and I can locate his death in Cincinnati in 1975), but not in the 1940 census.
The nearest I can get to him is a George Liddy, lodging in 66th Street, New York, occupation policeman, born Ireland. This George Liddy gives his age as 27(mine would be 30).

Am I being stupid and just not finding my George Liddy in Cincinnati, or is this him in New York?
A New York cop in the family, wouldn't that be great?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Paul.

I don't think that is him in New York.

A couple hints. The Ohio death index has his middle initial as "P". and was married.

His United States World War II Army Enlistment Records have him listed as living in Cincinnati, Ohio and married in 1942.

Hi Paul,

I agree with RJ137.  George P. is listed with his father George the paver in the 1936 Cincinnati Directories.
Liddy, George, granite paver, 1351 Pendelton
Liddy, George P. jr., meter tester, same address

Cheers,
DB

George P. was also listed as a meterman in the 1958 Cincinnati city directory.  His home was at 2942 Cleinview av.

Parents George & Mary are still living on Pendleton Street on the 1940 census:

This is the death record for George P's wife.

When did he enlist he could have been over here fighting, I don't think the UK did census during the war though

There was a 1940 U.S. census but the U.S. didn't enter the War until after the bombing of Pearl Harbor on 7 Dec.1941.
