United States 1920 Census - enter any name you are looking for, as well as Lowell, Massachusetts. 

Links to all US Census are in the Comments on this page.  The pages was going to be changed but has not been changed, so the links were added in the Comments section so they would not be lost, as well as the page that has the Headers for the census.

Lowell is there on the 1920 census with nine wards and each of those broken down into districts which would make it very hard to go through page by page. Spelling is sometimes terrible in the census so you may need to be creative in your search. Try using for example Wils* for Wilson or search for an unusual first name along with their birth place and year.

You might post a couple of the names and basic information and see if someone else has better luck.  Sometimes it really can be a case of a different set of eyes helps.
