USA Census writing deciphering.

[DeafDoggy488]

Hi,

I've found that my 3x Great Uncle on my paternal side of family had emigrated to USA in late 19th Century (exact year of emigration is unknown). His name is James Twaddle and is related to me through my paternal grandmother who was Irish and the Twaddles were born in Co. Longford.

However, I'm struggling to try and decipher what's being said on the Census from 1892 for the Twaddles who were living in Kings, Brooklyn, NYC at the time. I got some info but rest of them were hard to make out.

First person is Ellen Trimble?
second- James Twaddle
third- Joseph Twaddle
fourth- Agnes Twaddle?
fifth- not sure what's the first name is but the surname is definitely Twaddle
sixth- Anne/Annie? Trimble?

If anyone can help me to work this out, it would be greatly appreciated!

Certainly looks to be Ellen Trimble and Agnes Twaddle. Other than likely starting with D for the third entry, not sure on that one...

fifth- not sure what's the first name is but the surname is definitely Twaddle

I see the surname as Trimble for this one. 
As for the first name, which looks like Darous.... I'm wondering if it is a misspelling of Darius? (Except that I think it is supposed to be a female?)

I think it is a female so I'm confused.... Been trying to think about what could be similar to Darous?! Although some of my ancestors were called Dorcas but not sure if this is it? I know sometimes names can get mis-spelled especially when they're in a land where people may struggle with the irish accent!

There is this husband and wife from Ireland on the 1925 census in Brooklyn:

Dortis Trimble 59
Annie Trimble 52

Image wrongly linked so haven't been able to check it.

Added: 1910 here https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MPB1-J24 and 1900 here https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MSF6-QN1  Annie and Dorcas certainly stayed and worked together didn't they.

My take:
652 is the enumeration district. The "m" or "f" following this indicates whether the person is male or female. Not sure what the "c" means.

Ellen Trimble, aged 53, born in Ireland
James Twaddle, aged 31, born in Ireland, occupation Carpenter
Joseph Twaddle, aged 5, born in New York
Agnes Twaddle, aged 3, born in New York
Darous (?) Trimble, aged 27, born in Ireland
Annie Trimble, aged 19. born in Ireland

PS. I couldn't find an Irish female first name matching "Darous" or anything like it. Maybe a female variant of "Darius"?

I think "c" means citizens of USA. I might be wrong but I think that what it is. I'll need to do more research on the name Darous. It is rather unusual but to be honest, most of Irish names are unusual and not to mention don't sounds as they are spelled. Eg. Caoimhe sounds like Kwveen!

Dorcas is certainly a 'known' Irish female name.
