{}#yiv1222127144 OK, answering my own post (I’m used to talking to myself.) I
found the answer and the 1885 Iowa State Census had an effective date of
January 1st. Which means that most enumerations done that year were indeed 4 or
5 months late. I found this by looking at images of the enumerations as found
on Family Search but scrolled to the very first image of that particular area
or township. Generally there are 2 or 3 pages of text which define the rules
the enumerators were to follow and there buried in the text was the instruction
to write in names of persons “whose home on the first day of January, 1885…”
Realizing that many enumerators never followed the rules exactly, this four or
five month offset from the actual data collection changes many births, deaths,
marriages, and ages. Just proves that census records aren’t all that reliable.

Subject: [LegacyUG] 1885 Iowa State Census I have some events in my family
file that reference the 1885 Iowa State Census but I’m trying to determine the
official effective date of this particular census. Was it January 1st, April
1st, or June 1st? I’ve gone through so many different web sites in order to
make a determination yet strangely this bit of info is missing about the 1885
census. I did manage to view a copy of the official final report (not the
enumeration sheets) which mentioned the effective date was January 1st and they
hope the legislature would change it to June 1st to coincide with the US
Census. However, when I view any of the actual enumeration sheets, they are
dated in April or May. Was the 1885 Iowa State Census started 4 months late? I
found one web site which stated the effective date was June 1st but I can’t see
how that can be true if the enumerations were done 2 months earlier. Anyone
feel like enlightening me? Brian in CAThe water rates have been raised so
now the drought is over
