Went to 88 Partition Street in the 1880 census and strangely enough there is a William, Regina, Mary (and Emily) living there but the surname is ONNES not Ehrlich. Did the enumerator mis-hear the name? --------------------------------- 1878 Brooklyn City Directory ERHLICH - William A., boxmkr., h. 66 Lorimer Their surname spelling. 1879 Lain's Brooklyn City Directory ERLICH -William, boatbldr., h 88-1/2 Partition Their surname spelling. 1880 US Census NEW YORK , KINGS, 12-WD; BROOKLYN NARA Series: T9 Roll: 846 Page: 567 ED 97, sheet # 51, address 88 Partition Street William ONNES, 40, Germ , no occupation shown Regina, 33, Germ, keeps house Emily, 4, NY Mary, 6, NY, at school Looked at all of Partition Street and there was no EHRLICH family.
