Question:

Need 1880/1890 Census Record!!! Can you PLEASE access?

My e-mail research partner who had access to these things has gone missing. I am desperately looking for the father and brother of my great grand father. He wasnt close to is fam, but I have these two leads:

He has a brother, Charlie Dickson (born approx 1870) who has children Holsie, Vertie, and "Red". And his father may be named George Dickson (born approx 1850, blacksmith?) from TN. As of 1920, both were listed in the Houston Co., TN 1920 census.

Can someone PLEASE share the records for George Dickson, Erin (city), Houston County, Tennessee that list his children in his home, perhaps the 1880 or 1890 census? Walter B. and Charlie should be in there cause they're only a year or two apart.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Here's what I found on ancestry.com:

1900 United States Federal Census
about George Dixon
Name: George Dixon
Home in 1900: Civil District 4, Houston, Tennessee
Age: 50
Estimated birth year: abt 1850
Birthplace: Tennessee
Relationship to head-of-house: Head
Spouse's name: Jennie
Race: Black
Occupation: View image
Neighbors: View others on page
Household Members: Name Age
George Dixon 50
Jennie Dixon 37
Harrie Dixon 20
John Dixon 17
Laura Dixon 17
Cleaveland Dixon 14
Hart Dixon 12
Hellen Dixon 10
Liza Dixon 9
Sidney Dixon 6
W Z Dixon 4
Charles Dixon 2
Ollie L Dixon 3.12
Ether Dixon 3.12

George's occupation as listed in the census is unclear. It could say farrier or farmer. There are 2 sons listed that could be Walter and Charlie.

But then I found Charles Dixon that would be much older than the Charles listed above:

1900 United States Federal Census
about Charles E Dixon
Name: Charles E Dixon
Home in 1900: Civil District 4, Houston, Tennessee
Age: 34
Estimated birth year: abt 1866
Birthplace: Tennessee
Relationship to head-of-house: Head
Spouse's name: Luticia
Race: Black
Occupation: View image
Neighbors: View others on page
Household Members: Name Age
Charles E Dixon 34
Luticia Dixon 29
Theo B Dixon 9
Charles L Dixon 5
Lon V Dixon 1
Holsey M Dixon 0

Here there is Lon V, a daughter (Vertie?) and Holsey (Holsie?).

So I don't know which of these is your ancestor. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck!
