1880 Census Aurora, Kane, Illinois

[genichild]

I would like to see the entry for Abel Crompton Rhodes who was born in England on 28 July 1811 and emigrated to America  arriving on 16 October 1841 in New York from Liverpool on the Alabama with his wife and I think 2 Children. My mother was a Rhodes and we have mutual ancestors, so I would be glad to hear from any descendants of this family.

Thanks for your quick reply, FamilySearch shows me that an entry exists but refers me to Ancestry to so it at a fee. I was trying to avoid this!!and find out more about the family.

Just for future reference, there usually isn't all that much on the 1880 Census forms other than what you'll see on the transcript at familysearch.org.  Sometimes, you will get an address - this family seems to be at 38 Fox St.
