Hi,

In the 1870 Census I couldn't find Violet in NC but if I did find a Lydia age 6 & and Henry age 2 living with their family


Name: Lydia Taylor
Age in 1870: 6
Estimated Birth Year: 1863
Birthplace: North Carolina
Home in 1870: Union, New Hanover, North Carolina
Race: Colored
Gender: Female

Head of household- Isaac Taylor age 23
Keeping house- Eliz Taylor age 24
Farm labourer - Hinanda? Taylor age 12
- Lydia Taylor age 6
- Henry Taylor age 2
- Sarah Taylor age ?


....let me know if you would like the census image.

I found the following in the 1880 census

Name: Violet Taylor
Age: 14
Estimated birth year: <1866>
Birthplace: North Carolina
Occupation: Labourer
Relation: Other
Home in 1880: Rocky Point, Pender, North Carolina
Marital status: Single
Race: Black
Gender: Female
Head of household: Henry J. EVERITT

Is this the same Violet? I don't see Lydia or Henry living there??

Hope this helps.

Regards
Darlene
