Thanks! Yes, I found one on the 1860 census, but the copy was so bad I
could not make out the address. The microfilm quality of that page is
absolutely terrible! However, I do know the ward number (NYC is such a
horribly big place), so I will work from there.

Thanks, I will post any "tricks" I find on this roots web page!
