      In the 1880 Federal Census, William P. & Julia Remington are living at Pawtucket, Providence Co., RI. They have four children: Etta B. 8, Alice M. 6, William L. 3, & Arthur E. 2.

      In the 1900 Federal Census, the family is still living in Pawtucket, RI, at 44 Newberry St. William is 53, Julia is 47, Alice is 26, William is 24, and Arthur is 22. Their birth months and years are given, also.

      In the 1910 Federal Census, William P., Julia A., and the two sons and daughters-in-law, as well as three grandchildren, are living together at Manchester, Hillsborough Co., NH.

      In 1930 the family is at Manchester, NH, as follows (all surname Remington): Noris 51 RI, Laverna 42 MA, Walter 24 NH, Harold 22 NH, William J. 4 and 3/12 NH (says son but he is their grandson), Penn 82 MA (father), and Julia 82 MA (mother).

      Ancestry.com's Pawtucket City Directories 1890-1892 lists the following: "William P. Remington, S. B. Havens & Co.'s, driver, house 20 Elm." This is undoubtedly William Penn Remington (see his occupation in the 1880 census). His employer was S. B. Havens & Co., Restaurant, Caterers and Confectioners, 176 Main Street. This was "the largest catering, confectionery and restaurant business in Pawtucket" [RI].
