1870 US Federal Census - cannot find couple

[Tom 23]

Hi
I am trying to find the 1870 US census entry for a Henry & Marion Young, to try and establish if they had adopted a girl called Alice by this time.

Both Henry and Marion were born in 1845, Henry in Ohio and Marion in England.  They were married in 1867 in Chatfield, Minnesota.

On the 1875 Minnesota State Census they had got Alice Young in the household (born 1867).

They can be found on subsequent federal and state censuses in Jordan, Fillmore County
(Henry died in 1889 & Marion in 1923).  Alice disappears from all records after the 1885 census, although this was not through death as she is referenced in Marion's will in 1923 (obvious assumption is got married but no record to find out her new surname).

Henry does appear as Henry J Young or H J Young and Marion also appears as Marian however taking into account all variations I cannot pick them up on the 1870 census.

Any assistance most gratefully accepted.

Thanks

Does it say Alice is an adopted daughter rather than daughter?  1880 has daughter.

Yes definitely adopted this is a line from Henry's will.

This might be an issue:
“Large parts of the census for Minnesota that was taken in 1870 have not survived”

Interesting, could be the reason why the couple don't show.
