Notes

General:

Per 1930 US Census: 4/8/1930, 604 Second Street, 11th Ward, New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana
Laurence [variation of Lawrence] C. Blanchard is the 27 year old white male head of household, who rents his home for $23 a month, and owns a radio set. He is employed as a foreman on the river docks, and is not a veteran. He was first married at age 21 to then 20 year old Ondine Blanchard. Ondine is now 26 years old. Their 4 children are: 5 year 6 months old son Leroy M. Blanchard; 3 year 6 months old son Fredie A. Blanchard; 2 year 2 months old Doris C Blanchard; and 5 year 8 months old Laurence [variation of Lawrence] C. Blanchard Jr. All family members were born in Louisiana, as were their parents.
[Note - Laurence Jr obviously can't be 5 years 8 months old, born 2 months before Leroy. As children are usually listed in birth order, he was probably 6 or 8 months old].

Per 1940 US Census: 4/16/1940, 2219 St Thomas St, 10th Ward, New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana
Ondin Blanchard is the 34 year old widowed head of household, who rents her home for $16 a month. She and the whole family were born in Louisiana, and live in the same house they did in 1935. Ondin was educated through 3rd grade. Leroy Blanchard, 15 year old son, has finished 1 year of high school, and attends school. Freddie Blanchard, 13 year old son, finished through 5th grade and attends school. Doris Blanchard, 12 year old daughter, finished through 6th grade and attends school. Lawrence Blanchard, 10 year old son, finished through 4th grade and attends school.
There are two lodgers living with the family: 23 year old Olivia Amann who works as a cigar roller in a tobacco factory; and 25 year old Devery Gros is a laborer for a barge line.
