Hi Linda, There are no households listed on the Mortality Schedules. It is merely a list of names of those who died between 1 June 1859 and May 31 1860. There is no precise way in 1850,1860 to corrolate the people who died with their family which should be on the regular population schedule of the census. The only way is to study the surrounding names and guess, as I indicated in my original message. Tim >From: "Linda Davis" <ldavis8@msn.com> >To: "Timothy D.
