Howdy folks,
I went to my file cabinent and found this marriage bann of Jonathan. In
the process of finding that I came across a 1880 census that for unknown
reasons was sitting in there.
Listed are the following:
page 95, Supervisor's District #3, E.D. 118
Inhabitants in Seabright 1st District in the County of Monmouth of New
Jersey enumerated by me on the 30th day of June 1880 by Edward
Blaisdell. The reason I took the name was because of my Blaisdell family
in Vineland and MA.
To the right is a stamped 3 number code which reads either 385 or 395.
Get out your 1880 federal census info on various fields
1-834
2-988
3-Edwards, John W. w-m-age is hard to tell poss 48-mar.-Fisherman.
Better yet will send to you if you will send address.
