1940 Census for Lower Gwynedd PA
SMP
Here is a 1940 Lower Gwynedd map. Lower Gwynedd Township was comprised of four villages (see green stars on map). The part of Evans Road marked in blue is in the Gwynedd Valley section of Lower Gwynedd. The address on his 1943 death certificate was RD #1 Gwynedd Valley. The part of Evans Road that is white is in the Gwynedd Square section of Lower Gwynedd. The red question mark on Evans Road is prompted by some info from a deed that might indicate where his house was. His death certificate probably should have indicated Gwynedd Square. House location details Below the map is the 1940 census info. It is excerpts from census page 46 of enumeration district 46-79.

In 2015 my wife Polly and I moved into a continuing care community marked with an "X" on Norristown Road (pink). Other roads in the map are DeKalb Pike Rt 202 (orange), Bethlehem Pike Rt 309 (red), Sumneytown Pike (tan), Penllyn Pike (green), and Plymouth Road (light green).
