Unfortunately, Mary, very unfortunately, no one in the country has an 1890 census. Basically the entire 1890 census burned before it was ever transcribed (except for a mere handful of folks scattered around the country). Just thought you should know before you figure there's going to be a ton of info there for you. It's a bit of a struggle to make the leap from the 1880 to the 1900, but it can be done 99 and 44/100% of the time.
