The above census image from 1880, Suffolk County, NY -
Page #83, Supervisor dist No 2, Enumeration dist No 315;
Done
in June of 1880; Top right corner reads 153 A
Note: I nearly missed my gggrandfather altogether while browsing these
images at Ancestry.com -
He and the rest of the family were lucky enough to be those located directly beneath those two
strips
of dirty tape, or whatever those two dark marks are in the middle of the page.
Here you can see (look closely) Henry Corwin, followed by his wife, Mary E,
their son, George, and their daughter... umm...
Debbie? Nibbie? Millie? Ninnie?
(I honestly can't tell)
In this view (above) you can see the occupations of both Henry and Mary...
Now if only I could read it...
Here we can see, by looking all the way to the right, that Henry's parents were also born
in New York, and so were Mary's
(maiden name: Bayles)
CENSUS IMAGES FOR SUFFOLK CO. (L.I.), NY, 1880 ~ AVAILABLE @ ANCESTRY.COM
Membership is required (and well worth it in general!) Also, images are not searchable at this time,
so be sure to make
notes as you browse these pages, keeping track of those you have looked at, etc,
in the likely chance that you may need
to browse some, then return at a later point to browse some
more, repeating the process within your free time until you
have found your ancestor!
By the way, I tend to prefer Netscape as my personal browser (visually, I think it's better),
but - BUT - in this instance, for viewing census images at Ancestry.com, I do suggest you
use Internet Explorer. The
MrSid Image Viewer plug-in works much better within it...
(seeing as it didn't work at all in my Netscape!) ...Happy hunting,
all!
