Could some kind soul please check the 1880 census for an Albert Melville Richards, living either in Knox Co., (where, in Rockport, he was married to one Nettie W. Fales in 1869) or in Winslow, Kennebec Co. (where he was born in 1844). I am hoping that he might have a young son named John (born ca. 1865) who is my brick wall to the third power. Thanks in advance. Jeff Richards

Now that Dana (thank you, kind soul!) found Albert Melville Richards in 1880, can some one help me find him in 1870, probably in Kennebec County? (And Dana, thank you very much. Now the mystery grows, because it looks like Albert had a new (second? third?) wife. Curiouser and curiouser.) Jeff Richards Muenster, Germany Thanks again.
