Bob, I also have the full ancestry.com images subscription; however, I have gone to: www.Familysearch.org click on "Search" tab near middle of top area click on "Census" link in left hand column click on "All" & then click on "1880" go from there. It is PRINTED from someone's transcription of the actual images; with page numbers (as you said....sometimes they are off) Sometimes the names & other info are incorrectly transcribed, but you get a gist of the family unit, the neighbors (you can tell it next household or previous household) and you can go through it pretty quickly. Even if a person does not have the full image subscription, they can go to where they can access the census on microfilm & at least have a starting point or general idea if the ancestor was there. I have found many of my names on that printed census at this site, but just be wary of the errors. If I don't find one as I type it in, I make sure the "exact spelling" box at lower left is not checked. Then it looks phonetically. I have never joined Familysearch. Try the above website & check it out. Maybe I did not interpret your message (below) correctly? Keep in mind folks, these are NOT the actual film images, just someone's transcription of those films.
