Sorry, forgot about the 1890 census. The Federal census for 1890 are
incomplete and the Population schedules for N.J. for the year 1890 were
destroyed by fire.

<< Federal census of the population were taken every ten years, beginning in
1790 for N.J. There are no extant copies of the Federal census for N.J. for
1790, 1800, 1810 or 1820. ( except for Cumberland Co. 1800. They were stolen
and burned by the British, so I'm told. There are Fedral census and State
population schedules for N.J. for the years 1830 - 1920. There are also N.J.
State census records. They were taken in the middle of each decade from 1855
to 1915. None are indexed. The 1855, 1865 and 1875 state census are
incomplete, in that some counties are omitted entirely, while others are
missing certain townships. I have a list on what ones are missing. Hope this
help's
