Dear All, I have a street address where my family lived in 1885 (from the Memphis City Directory) and would like to ask for help in getting an extract/transcript of all details for that address from the 1880 census, please. I understand the 1880 census was the first one to show where the parents of the residents were born. The 1880 census is apparently not available through the local Mormon's library, so I'm stuck without access to it. I've read that the soundex index for the 1880 census only includes those households which had children under the age of 10 years. That would probably rule my family out and so the soundex index is probably useless for me. Is there any other way of tracking down a family in the 1880 or 1890 censuses? If you think you can help, the address in 1885 was: 136 Vance Avenue, 7th Ward, Memphis, Shelby County. Known family members who would have been there in 1880: John YORK born 1812, Halifax, Nova Scotia Elizabeth born about 1815, England (John's wife) Sophia born about 1847, Florida (Their daughter) (possibly others too) John died in 1884. Elizabeth stayed there until at least the following year. However, she died on 20 September 1890 at 140 Elliott Street, 5th Ward, Memphis. Perhaps one of her children lived there. Any assistance or guidance will be greatly appreciated. Looking for suggestions, Lex. Lex Johnson Queensland, Australia. l.johnson@cqu.edu.au
