Name, sex, color are listed as well as age prior to June 1st; month of birth in the census year; whether single, married, widowed or divorced; whether married in the census year; occupation, cannot read or write; place of birth AND father's and mother's place of birth.The major addition to the 1880 census for reseachers is the listing of each individuals relationship to the head of household.
