Ballet Dancer Elizabeth Grisdale Gear

I would be very interested if anyone can find Elizabeth Gear (nee Grisdale) and her husband the painter John William Gear in the 1860 US records, probably in Boston. See link:

I have not found them on the 1860 census yet, but:
Boston 1861 Directory
Gear John W. cleaner and restorer of oil paintings and prints, 274 Washington, house do.

Thank you

You're welcome.

1859 Boston Directory
Gear J. W. 274 Wash

One would think they might be found in Boston (1860 census), since they were there in 1859 and 1861.

Update:  They are in the 1860 directory as well, same address.
H. G. Fette was living at the same address in 1860.  They are listed under Painters.

1860 Boston Directory
Hollander, M. T.  274 Wash.

So far, I don't see any of the men (people) on the 1860 census.

1860 Boston Directory
Arbuckle Matthew, musician, 274 Wash. house 42

No sign of him on the 1860 census.  Either I haven't done an extensive search yet, or perhaps the page is illegible?  Where are these people?

Matthew Arbuckle was living in Worcester Ward 7, Worcester County, MA in June 1860.  (Born c1830, Scotland.)
Still looking for the others in 1860; hoping they might lead us to the Gears.

It looks like M.T. Hollander was a female and lived in Somerville, Middlesex, MA in 1860.  Perhaps the Washington address was where she worked.

1860 Cambridge Ward 4, Middlesex, MA
H. G. Fette was born c1803, Germany and was an artist.  Perhaps he, too, was working in the same building as Gear.

Hopefully, someone else may be able to find Gear in 1860?
