Yes - the 1900 Warren County Census. I couldn't find my grandparents until searching for the kids. It seems that Sidney Phillip "Sid" Hardcastle came out as "Fred" Hardcastle. My grandmother Araminta/Aramittie/Mittie - you name it - was never the best name to search. Mittie's parents were no mean feat in the 1800 Census of Union County. G-grandpa Atwood Willoughby, who also shows up as At, Att, etc., is "Atward" in that census. Of course his wife Mahulda Patterson Willoughby is "Huldy" in that census. I can't find either one of them in 1900. While I know that at least At (haha) was alive, as he's with the former family in 1910, I can't find any record of Huldy after 1880 and I have never been able to find where she was buried. There is a Huldy Willoughby in Saline County, Ill. in 1910, but I've been able to determine it's a different person - even though she was the right age. "At" is listed as a widower in 1910, but that's not necessarily accurate. I would still like to figure out where they were in 1900 - at least him - to get a better idea of their life stories.
