    1. 1860 CENSUS QUESTION
    2. I am having a very hard time locating a relative in the 1860 census. I can find her family in 1870 in 53rd dist., ward 18. Can anyone tell me how this translates to the 1860 census? I have searched by name every which-way, and now I am thinking that I will need to start looking page by page, but Philadelphia is so HUGE! Her name is Emma Dickson (and I have checked everything from Dixon, Dickinson, Nickson and beyond...). Her age in 1870 is 18, but I think she was really born in 1855. Her father is Wm H. Dickson, age 39 in 1870. Both born in Pennsylvania). There is a woman named Mary Ann age 28, relationship unknown (too young to be Emma's mother, too old to be Wm's sister, could be a step-mother to Emma?) I am hoping that the 1860 census might have some info on Emma's mother. Thanks for the help!! Janet
