As far as I know, the 1869 census is not online, but you may be able to get it through interlibrary loan or at a Family History Center near you.

The census you have been asking about is not online as far as I know. All off year census dates are usually state census. Here is the following from the www.familysearch.org site: South Carolina - Census - 1790 South Carolina - Census - 1800 South Carolina - Census - 1800 - Indexes South Carolina - Census - 1800-1870 South Carolina - Census - 1810 - Indexes South Carolina - Census - 1820 - Indexes South Carolina - Census - 1830 - Indexes South Carolina - Census - 1840 - Indexes South Carolina - Census - 1850 South Carolina - Census - 1850 - Indexes South Carolina - Census - 1850-1880 South Carolina - Census - 1860 South Carolina - Census - 1860 - Indexes South Carolina - Census - 1870 South Carolina - Census - 1870 - Indexes South Carolina - Census - 1880 South Carolina - Census - 1880 - Indexes South Carolina - Census - 1890 - Indexes South Carolina - Census - 1900 South Carolina - Census - 1900 - Indexes South Carolina - Census - 1910 South Carolina - Census - 1910 - Indexes South Carolina - Census - 1920 South Carolina - Census - 1930 South Carolina - Census - 1930 - Indexes South Carolina - Census - 1960 - Maps In order to view the film numbers, you will have to go to www.familysearch.org and click Catalog found at far right hand side of screen. Then click on Place, and type in "South Carolina" so you can click onone of the following subjects. When the page comes up that you want, then click on Film tab. Otherwise, if you are have an account with genealogy.com or ancestry.com, you might be able to view the census that way. The only census that you can view & print a readable fully indexed census is the 1880 census found on familysearch.org. At that site you can click on household & see all the members of the family & even click on next or previous household for the same street. You can highlight the whole record for that family and print or copy it onto your Word application. Normally when one reads the year date of a census & you see that it is not dated at the 10 year time ending in a "0", one assumes that it is a state census. Otherwise, the federal census is every 10 years. One has to check on the record at familysearch.org to see if it is a state census. Some of the last states to come into the union had a few off years, because of their off year entry to the union, plus the inability of the government to foretell when or be prepared for a census of the area. Hope that helps. Good luck in searching ! Elizabeth Pt.
