I know this might sound like a simple question because it clearly says "State - Virginia" and "Incorporated Place - Richmond" But I was curious to know if anyone can clarify what "Ward of City-Madison" means? This is from a 1940s census and Im trying to get a better understanding of what might have happened to a lost family member. I originally thought that maybe it was saying it was from the city of Madison in the county of Richmond but the only town I could find in Virginia called Madison is in Madison County.

Thank you for any clarification.

PS here is a link to the photo in question, I couldn't post it in the post here for some reason.

1940s Census

I would like to start this post by thanking everyone who helped me with my last post! I finally got the shoulders, back yoke, and chest to lay beautifully flat! I wouldn’t have been able to figure it out without your help!!

I have been trying to teach myself how to make a bodice block that I can use for a multitude of designs and I’m now onto the sleeves. However I am experiencing an issue where there seems to be too much sleeve to lay in the armscye nicely. I added ease to the sleeve but it just seems like there is too much in the sleeve cap. I gathered the sleeve cap to ease it into the armscye but can’t seem to make it look like a normal sleeve, it’s kind of a mix between a puffy sleeve and a normal one.

Any ideas as to what might be happening here?

PS sorry for the weird faces hahahaha😂😂
