arrghh

1950; San Mateo County, California; Dundas, Dorothea M., housekeeper, 51, divorced, b. Wisconsin

I had downloaded this when the census was first released and the only search mechanism was a very shaky OCR program, but then I lost it when my computer crashed.  No problem, I thought.  I remembered the basic details and it should be a cinch to get it back.  But try to find it at Familysearch.  Could the handwriting possibly be any clearer?  After hours unsuccessfully looking for it at FamilySearch, I gave up and went back to the old OCR thing and found it on the first stab.

Nice one!

The one you wanted was an easy find on Ancestry in the Bradley household.
John D Bradley,39,Head
Jane E Bradley,40,Wife
John E Bradley,13,Son
Lynn Bradley,7,Daughter
Dorothea M Dundas,51,Housekeeper

As for Darothea Cooney/Carney in your link, I suppose she is at least a reminder that different sites have different ideas of spelling variations!
