Hi Alan - Go to <A HREF="www.familysearch.org">www.familysearch.org</A> and use the search tab at the top of the page. Click on the Census search on the left side and designate that you'd like to search the US 1880 census. In Wallace, LaSalle County I found the following on page 751C: William Dwyer, head, 38, Ire, Ire, Ire Annora Dwyer, wife, 37, Ire, Ire, Ire Pattrick Dwyer, son, 6, IL, Ire, Ire Michael Dwyer, son, 3, IL, Ire, Ire John Dwyer, 1, son, IL, Ire, Ire Mary Dwyer, mother, 65, Ire, Ire, Ire Charles Hart, other, 15, IL, Ire, Ire. (Oh lucky you! You got a bonus mom in there!!!) You may want to check the actual census page to confirm this info as I've found some transcription problems here and there. I also think that I located them in 1870, still in Wallace, M593_244, p. 768a. Dwyre, Wm, 28, farmer, Ireland, both parents foreign born ---------, Nora, 27, keeping house, Ireland, both parents foreign born Hope this helps.
