NOTE: I am aware that there is no house # 1 or2, that is how it appeared on the census film. I am not sure if those two houses were missing, or if the numbering is incorrect, etc.

John Wedding: I found this family in 1920, in Sayreville, Middlesex County. John was boarding in the home of Anna Unkel on Washington and Amboy Road. He was not yet married, and was working as laborer at the time. I was unable to locate him or his family on prior censuses, in NJ or Maryland.
I think I've located John's SS death record. If I'm right, he was born 23 May 1896, and died Jan 1971 in Lakehurst. I believe I have also located his daughter, Ada's, SS death record. It says she was born 9 Sep 1892, and died in April of 1978 in Lakehurst. I can't be positive that this is her, but it seems a strong possibility, especially given that her husband seems to have also died in Lakehurst. Ada appears to be buried out at the Whiting cemetery, which has been transcribed elsewhere on this site, along with John R., John R., Jr., and Kenneth Wedding. (John, Sr.'s headstone says he lived from 23 May 1896-11 Jan 1971). According to John Wedding, Sr.'s headstone, he served in WWI in NJ PFC 311 Ambulance Co.

Lorenzo Lawrence: The Lawrences were John Wedding's step-children, indicating that Ada Wedding had at one point been married to someone named Lawrence prior to marrying John. So far the only information I have about them is from Lorenzo's SSDI record; he lived from 5 Sep 1915-27 Nov 2002, when he died in Toms River. He does not appear to have had an obituary in the local paper at that time.

Winton Family: In 1920, Bamber is not enumerated differently than the rest of Lacey Township; however, I have noted that many of the families on this census are also evident clustered near one another in 1920. The Wintons are one of these families: John was a 38 year old farm laborer, and his wife, Thelma was 32 in 1920. Which is odd, considering their ages in 1930, but it isn't at all uncommon for one or more of the censuses to be off by a few years in ages.
In 1920, children, Thelma (8), Florence(6), John(5), and Helen(1.5) lived with them.
This family shows up among many of the other families detailed her in the 1915 state census, indicating that it was likely he was at Bamber in 1915.
John A. Winton gave his birth date as Apr 1881, and he was employed as a laborer. Selma (with an 's' this time) was born in Nov 1896 in New York; both of her parents were from Sweden. Daughter Selma S. was born in J an 1912, and son Erick J. was born Jun 1914. There was also a man named Wesle Dixon, b. Jan 1839, living with them in 1915 and working as a laborer.

Charles Stahl seems to have also lived at Bamber in 1920, employed as the Postmaster. (A news article from Cedar Crest in April of 1914 indicates that James Branson held the post at that time).

Charles Bunnell and family appear to have lived in Bamber in 1920 if my guess about the census is correct; it seems that the enumerator started in the Eastern portion of the township and finished at the far western end, which would be Bamber. In 1920, Charles worked as a laborer in the 'farm--fruit' industry. Wife Julia, as well as children Charles and Golda, lived with him at that time. There was also a niece, Levora Morey, age 12, living with them as well; she is apparently gone by 1930 (As the Crafts also had relatives named Morey, it seems there is some as yet undetermined link between these two families).
The Bunnels appear on the state census that was taken in 1915. They may not have been at Bamber, but they were definitely in Lacey. (A ten day gap passed, from Jun 11 to Jun 21st, between the time of the page prior to the one with the Bunnels and the one with their entry. While that seems a bit much, one would expect at least a day gap to travel from the township proper all the way out to Bamber).
In 1915, Julia was of course with them in 1915, as was niece Levora (her bith date is given as Dec 1906; Julia's was Nov 1887, and Charles himself was Feb 1882). Even more interesting is that fact that Josephine Craft (see below) lived in the Bunnel home in 1915
(A 1914 Courier snippet mentions that Charles was called to Forked River, where his father was very ill, indicating that he was living outside of Forked River at that time; also that, as explained below, there is a good chance Charles was not originally from Bamber).
Going back to 1910, Charles Bunnel is found in Lacey Township, though not necessarily at Bamber, along with Julia and son, Clarence Bunnell. The family is actually listed in a place called "Frog Hollow", along with the families of Alfred Van Brunt, Bird Parker, and Warren W. Penn. It's not at all clear where in Lacey that is, or was.
In 1905, the Bunnells appear on the state census for Lacey Township. At that time, Charles lived at home with his parents, John W. Bunnell (b. Sep 1850 in Virginia; his mother was from there, though his father was from New Jesey. John worked as a bayman, making residency at Bamber unlikely, but not impossible.), and Mary C. Bunnell (b. Jan 1851). Charles himself gave his birthdate as February 1881, and in 1905 he was working as a cook for the Life Saving Service. Their next-door-neighbor on the census, Joseph W. Thomas, also worked for the Life Saving Service.
The Bunnels also turn up as early as the 1885 state census, when Charles was just as young boy. He had siblings at that time: Snowden, Edward, William, Amelia, and Bertha Bunnel.
Charles and Julia are both buried in the Whiting Cemetery (transcribed elsewhere on this site); according to their headstones, Charles lived from 1881-1963, and Julia from 1887-1967. (Her SSDI listing says Sep 1969, as does her Asbury Park Press obituary, so perhaps the headstone is wrong, or more likely, just difficult to read)

Miller family: In 1920, there is a 28 year old Edwin Miller living at Bamber, not yet married and working as a farm fruit laborer. He lived with Harry Bunnell and Edward Wiener(sp??); the latter was from Germany and apparently the superintendent of the fruit farm. They all lived in the home of Julia craft and her daughter, Lulu. (in 1914, there is mention of an Edward and LeRoy Miller living at Cedar Crest, but I'm not certain if this is the same person; in Oct 1917, the Courier mentions an Edward Miller living at Cedar Crest). Lulu was 33 in 1920; she was listed as 'married', although her surname is illegible on the census, and it's not clear where her husband is.
In 1920, Josephine craft is also found in the Cedar Crest census. Josephine is listed as head of household, a widow now. [According to the marriage record for her daughter, Josephine's maiden name was 'Carter'] In 1910, they lived in Lacey (perhaps at Bamber); the couple had been married for 28 years, and Josephine had had three children (all still alive). Daughter Lulu was with the family in 1910; even more perplexing, her last name is Saulsman, and she is listed as a widow at age 31, having given birth once before but having no living children. A divorced woman named Amelia was a boarder in the home in 1910 (her surname is not legible)
On the 1915 State Census, Josephine Craft lived with Charles Bunnell and family (see above).
Her daughter, Lulu Saulsman, lived in the home of William Scull for some reason, although she gave her marital status as 'married.' William was born in Dec 1867 and worked as a blacksmith in 1915; he had two children living with him as well, Albert F. (b. Sep 1903) and Anna M. (b. May 1906).
Going back even further....
While I haven't found this family (yet) in the 1910 census, they do appear on the state census of 1905. Harvey was still a 'cook on a vessel', and gave his birthdate as Jun 1849 (although his middle initial is 'V' in 1905). Josephine was employed as a cook at a hotel (unlikely occupation for one living in Bamber--I doubt very much there was a hotel at Bamber.) In 1905, the Crafts occupied house #79, whereas the family of Charles Bunnel was #96, potentially far enough away to safely say he was probably in a different town. I believe the Crafts lived in the more Eastern part of the township and relocated to Bamber sometime after 1905.
In 1905, Lulu was living with her parents, as were some other relatives: Florence E. Morey, b. Apr 1884; Julia S. Craft, b. Nov 1887; and Samuel Morey, b. Jan 1875.
In 1900, Harvey B. craft (head of family this time) and wife Josephine appear in Lacey township. Harvey was born in Jun 1849, and Josephine in Oct 1862. Her three children lived with the family:
Florence E, b. Apr 1884; Julia S., b. Nov 1887; and Lulu E., b. Jun 1889. In 1900, Harvey was working as a cook on a vessel.
The Crafts lived in Lacey Township at least as far back as the time of the 1885 state census; little but names were supplied on that census, but in 1885 Harry B. Craft and Josephine Craft lived with : Florence Craft (presumably the Florence Morey seen in 1905); Julia S. Craft; and Lulu E. Craft. None of the other Bamber families are located anywhere near them on the 1885 census. In fact, the nearest likely Bamber family was 65 entries away (that of the Bunnells).

Septor Family The Septor family was at Bamber in 1920 as well. Annie is listed as "Fannie" in 1920, and children Charles(? it's hard to read his name, and he's missing in 1930), Raymond (age 23), Melvin, age 14, Nelson, age 11, Wilmer, age 6, and Kenneth, 1 yr 8mos, lived there, too.
Just where Irma was in 1920--I'm not sure, but see below.
There are also several other children, listed out of chronological order: Margaret, 16; Evelyn, 14; Gladys, 10; and Emma, 5 (this may well be Irma).
This family is found at house #180 on the state census in 1915; Lulu Saulsman,above, was #177, and the Bunnel/ Craft home was #173, again indicating the likelihood that this group of people was all living in the same town from at least 1915 to 1930, and therefore (if the 1930 census is accurate), at Bamber.
In 1915, John W. Septor was about 39 (born in Oct 1874 in Maryland); he worked as a laborer. Fannie A. gave her birthdate as Oct 1874 (she was born in Pennsylvania, like her mother; her father was from Maryland). The children with them in 1915 were Raymond (b. May, 1899 in PA); Cleason G., b. Oct 1900 in PA; Margaret V. , b. Aug 1903 in PA; and Evelyn A., b. Apr 1906 in New Jersey (seemingly indicating that the family arrived in New Jersey between 1903 and 1906). However, once again, as in 1920, there are other children, oddly out of chronological order: Melvin, b. Sep 1901; Gladys E, b. Nov 1907; Nelson C., b. Apr 1911; and Wilmer L., b. Jul 1913.
John and Fannie Septor lived in Woodland Township in 1910; in 1914, the NJC mentions that they had just moved to Cedar Crest from Whitings, so apparently this family didn't stay in one place very long. In 1910, John's mother, Martha E. Septor, lived with them. She was 60 at that time.
a NJC article of 1914 indicates Mrs. Septor's mother was one Mrs. Riggal of Orianna, PA.
Most of these people have SSDI records: Melvin's says he lived from 26 Sep 1907-28 Feb 1992; Raymond Septor, 10 May 1899-Mar 1969, last residing in Lakehurst; Wilmer Septor, 31 Jul 1913- 29 Mar 2002 (last resided in Pensacola, FL); Cleason Septor, 22 Oct 1900-Nov 1980 (last residing in Berks, PA).
Most of this family is buried in the Whiting Cemetery, transcribed elsewhere on this site. Fannie A. (Riggeal) Septor 22 Oct 1874-25 Oct 1940;
Melvin Howard Septor, 26 Sep 1907-28 Feb 1992;
Raymond Sylvester Septor, 10 May 1899-16 Mar 1969;
Lovera Jane (Nolf), 12 Sep 1903-13 Oct 1980.
John's full name is given as John Wesley Septor, and Fannie's as Fannie Alberta Riggeal.

Kelkuski Family: I have almost no information on this family, other than a SSDI record for an Anne Kelkuski, born 23 Aug 1920. She died 13 Oct 2003 in Petersburg, Rensselaer, NY--but her last benefit was sent to someone in Toms River, marking her as a possible descendant of the fellow on this census.
Also, there is a SSDI record for Edward Kelkuski: he was born 3 Jul 1916, and died 24 Nov 1990. No final residence or last benefit are given for him, but both he and Anne had their social security numbers issued in New Jersey. However, it seems that this is a different family, based on Ann's obit in the Albany Times Union:
It appears that Walter and Caroline are buried in St. Joseph's Cemetery in Toms River; Walter S. Kelkuski lived from 1888-1961, and Caroline K. Kelkuski from 1894-1965.
Edward Kelkuski is buried in Ocean County Memorial Park; he lived from 1916-1990.
"PETERSBURGH, N.Y. -- Ann Kelkuski , 83, of Potterhill Road, Petersburgh, died Monday, October 13, 2003 at the North East Center for Special Care, Lake Katrine. She was born in Lake Wood, N.J. on August 23, 1920, a daughter of the late William and Mary Murphy. A longtime resident of Lake Wood, for many years she worked at Weaton Plastics in N.J. She was resident of Petersburgh for the past 17 years. Surviving are her son, Edward J. Kelkuski and his wife Lynda S. of Petersburgh; one granddaughter, Tammy; and one great-grandson, Alex. Private arrangements by Simpson-Gaus Funeral Home, Kingston. Donations may be made to NE Center Activities Fund, 300 Grant Ave., Lake Katrine, NY 12449." (As her final benefit was sent to someone in Toms River, and we know this family ended up in Toms River, it's possible there's a connection between her and the family from Cedar Crest).
