As it happens there is (for the most part) no 1890 census. A sad tale, it is, but the short version is that it burned. There are a couple of stray counties (alas, not in California) that remain as well as some data re Civil War veterans, but that's about it. I did check the index for the 1890 Alameda County Great Register and found no William JOHNSON (doesn't prove anything except that he probably wasn't registered to vote then). --Laurel
