Is there a way to find the address 52 Pierce St. in Chicago in the 1880 census. I have an ancestor giving that street address for a child born to them in 1879 and also the same address in the Chicago 1880 Directory. I have been unable to find them by name in either the 1870 or 1880 census. Thought if I could find the pages for the Pierce St. I would browse through all of those pages to see if my ancestor is living with some one else. I am looking for John and Margaret Good(e) and children Francis, (female), Etta, William J., Maud, Rose Margaret. John Good is a traveling salesman so many times in the census he is living with his adult child or hotel location. In 1870/1880 his children are young. Any help appreciate. Many Thanks Jackie Greathouse

Try and find out what Enumeration District would include that street. Then if you are lucky you can page through that ED and find the street listed on the right hand side. Ideally it should also show the house number for each building.

Hello, have you tried www.alookatcook.com It gives descriptions of the enumeration districts, as well as maps of each ward. if you know where Pierce St is, you can narrow down the ward. The address 52 makes me think it is centered, near downtown. You dont say if it is 52 n/ s/ w/ etc. Mary On Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 1:57 PM, Jackie Greathouse <jjg331@gmail.com> wrote: > Is there a way to find the address 52 Pierce St. in Chicago in the 1880 > census.
