1880 US Census is now available

... and I have the Edward & Mary Sinnott family at 352 Tenth Avenue, Manhattan information.  Unfortunately nothing new is provided.

1880 US Census 10th Ave. Manhattan

This past Friday, June 1st, I went to New York City to visit both the Municipal Archives and the National Archives, NY center.  The Municipal Archives close at 1pm on Fridays in the summer and because I was showing up at 1:45pm, that meant I couldn't do any ancestry searches.  I was very disappointed, to say the least!  I left and hailed a cab to go to the National Archives and spent a few  hours there and was helped by a few very friendly volunteers.  Unfortunately, even with the help of a senior genealogist on Ireland, we came up with nothing.  All the avenues they suggested I had already been down.  I am hoping that the Death Certificate for Edward that I've sent off for (and that I could have picked up at the Municipal Archives had they been opened!) will provide me with some nugget of information that I can then link to the next piece of searchable data.  Fingers crossed.

Meanwhile, the Sinnott Family in 1880 on Tenth Avenue consisted of:

Edward, age 31 (DOB: 1849), box maker, born in Ireland

Mary, age 30 (DOB: 1850), keeping house, born in Ireland

Catherine, daughter, age 6 (DOB: 1874), born in New York

Nicholas, son, age 4 (DOB: 1876), born in New York

James, son, age 3 (DOB: 1877), born in New York

with:

Guy Spears, age 39, a boarder in the house, box maker, from Scotland

James Sinnott, age 35, brother to Edward, clerk in a grocery, from Ireland

And, from the NY Times, it looks like Tenth Avenue was a business district... but don't pass off Oleo as butter or you'll be arrested! : )   Interesting immigrants' statistics below.

Abram Coffinger Obituary

Abrams' 2nd marriage to Grace Simmons Jan 24, 1917

Update July, 2014 with photos from Prospect Hill Cemetery in Schuylerville, New York of my great-grandparents' graves:

And my cousin, Judie Miner Brenner, sent me this photo of Great-Grandfather Abram Coffinger in May, 2014.  Judie is my father's, Paul H. Coffinger's, sister, Anne Coffinger Miner's, daughter. It is Aunt Anne's handwriting on the photo.

Update June 15, 2018 thanks to my second cousin Kathleen Story, the obituary for Elizabeth Stanley Coffinger from March 18, 1915.  She died at 66 years of age.
