I have been trying to find the 1885 Iowa Census online, but so far it's eluding me. Can some one help? Who I am looking for is John C. Wood. He appears on the 1900 Federal census with his grandmother, Mary Wood in Hull, Lincoln Township, Sioux County. At this time he is listed as being 17 years of age, born January, 1883. He was born in Iowa; his father in New York and his mother in Wisconsin. I would like to know his mother's name. Thank you. Ellen

http://iagenweb.org/census/ Several counties are online, many aren't. Volunteers are always needed to transcribe and proof-read.

HNY Ellen!, To my knowledge the 1885 census is not on-line. In addition to Sharyl's link Ancestry has an all name index for both the 1885 & 1895 Ia. state census. But Sioux co. is not included for 1885. Do you have John C. Wood on later census records? I ask because the 1900 enumeration raises some questions. The 1900 auld sod native Mary Wood appears to be the widow of Anderson Wood, born In. On the 1895 Anderson Wood and Mary Wood are the only surname Wood in Lincoln twp., Sioux co. I followed Anderson & Mary back to 1860 Iowa co, Wisc. All their children appear to have been born in Wi. So If young John's parental nativities are correct, and he was the son of one of the daughters, his surname is not Wood. If you want to check this out, in 1860 Hightland twp, Ia co. Wi., Anderson Wood is indexed as Andrew. Dick May you live to be a hundred, with an extra year to repent!

Just a P.S. for clarification Ellen. In 1880 Anderson's household is in Lincoln twp, Sioux co. In 1870 in Highland twp, Ia. co Wi. and as already indicated, in 1860 Highland twp, Iowa co Wi. indexed as Andrew Wood. Dick May you live to be a hundred, with an extra year to repent!
