Hi Gail, There is much more out there, especially on the Brooklyn homepage via stevemorse.org. It isn't until the 1900 census that street addresses consistently appear, but you'll see some in 1870 and 1880. Ancestry had help pages that I can no longer find there. To remedy this, you need to search NYC Directories for consecutive years. Prior to 1881, you may need to begin by reading descriptors of ward boundaries>>> Manhattan Ward Boundaries by Charles Sullivan http://bklyn-genealogy-info.stevemorse.org/Ward/1864.Man.html 1880 List of Wards and ADs http://bklyn-genealogy-info.stevemorse.org/Ward/Man.1880.ed.html With known address, search here to calculate AD/ED>>> Steve Morse AD/ED tool...Enter street address. http://stevemorse.org/nyc/nyc.php The AD is needed to search the 1890 NYC Police Census as this special census is only Manhattan. Politicos believed Manhattan [+ W. Bronx and East River islands] was undercounted in the 1890 US Census, so executed a door-to-door *supervised* head count by NYPD officers in the fall of 1890. The result was a 13% population increase from the federal census of 1890. 1870 Census..decoding AD/ED into street addresses. http://bklyn-genealogy-info.stevemorse.org/Ward/1870.2ed.NYC17wd.html Later ADs/EDs from Brooklyn homepage>>> http://bklyn-genealogy-info.stevemorse.org/Ward/1915.Ward.Assembly.Manh.html
