Mike, The best substitute for the 1890 census, would be the New York State census taken in 1892. This has been microfilmed, and is available thru LDS (mormons). Microfilms to be borrowed and used at the LDS library in Loudonville and elsewhere, have to be ordered on-line at www.familysearch.org. Some local libraries also will accept LDS microfilms on interlibrary loan. If you can't easily access an LDS facility, this might be a workable alternative. Check with your local library.

The 1892 census is online (free) through www.familysearch.org. Go to Search, then to Browse all published collections, then to United States, then to NY, then scroll down to 1892 census and do your search.
