Good morning Listers! Would someone be so kind as to check the following for me please in the 1880 Census. John James BALSOM. Born Torquay, Devon, England. 1846. Sorry I don't know what County he is likely to be in or his Marital status (if any). I cannot locate him in UK in the 1881. 1891 or 1901 census - believe he may be in Texas. Very many thanks :).

Jan, This may be your John James Balsom in Harris Co, Texas: Jno. J. BALSOM Self M Male W 32 born ENG Carpenter Father born ENG Mother born ENG Eliz. BALSOM Wife M Female W 31 ENG ENG ENG Mary E. BALSOM Dau S Female W 8 CAN ENG ENG Jno. A. L. BALSOM Son S Male W 6 CAN ENG ENG Source Information: Census Place Harris, Texas Family History Library Film 1255308 NA Film Number T9-1308 Page Number 21A This is from FamilySearch.com the website of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They have recently posted an All-Name Index to the 1880 US Federal Census. Since I was already doing searches in Texas I just put in John Balsom born in England in 1846 +/- 2 years and the result is above. If this isn't your John then you can go to FamilySearch.com and click on the 1880 Census link on the left side and search using last name only or other criteria. As of right now the Index is free. You can also do what I did and click on Household and then when at that screen you can check out the neighbors by clicking on the Next or Previous Household.
