Hello Norman,

The only VERITY family in New Hampshire at the time of the 1880 census was

Hi Listers,
My name is Norman Archibald and i am new to the list, so please excuse my
ignorance as i know very little about America in the 1800`s.
In 1854 the half brother of my great grandfather a John Showler VERITY
migrated to America from England and settled in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Could someone on the list tell me, what years were the census taken in
America, particularly New Hampshire, what would be recorded on them, and how
would i access same.
Regards from, Norman A. in Australia.

In the U.S., a census has been taken every 10 years from 1790 through 1990.
All censuses taken after 1920 are still confidential and the information
they contain is not open to the public. The census from 1790 through 1840
only named the head of the household and the numbers of people in
categories — 3 males over 16, 2 males under 16, etc. The census from 1850
through 1920 lists each member of the household and usually gives the
relationship to the head of the house. It also gives age (later years give
birth month and year) and place of birth (usually just the state or foreign
country). The 1890 census was almost totally destroyed by fire so there is a
20 year gap between 1880 and 1900.
