Hello to all: I hope that everyone had an enjoyable holiday season. My question is this I have 2 female ancestords that passed away prior to 1900. I found only there husbands on the 1900 cenus. How would I be able to find there dates of death. both were in jeresy city for the 1880 census the 1890 census is not available. Is there an 1885 and 1895 Jersey city census?. And would they be listed if they were still alive or is a state census more just head of house hold. Any ideas on how to proceed will be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Dudley Pritchard

There were state census's in 1885 and 1895. I've used the 1895 Jersey City census. Order it from your Family History Center. Their dates of death can be determined within five years from the census. Then order a death certificate from the N.J. state archives, the fee is $10 and includes a five year search time frame. From that you will have their date of death.
