The formatting doesn't stay when I preview. It's going to be hard to read. If this doesn't work just forget it. No doubt I'll find the answer one day when I least expect it.
This would be for Carrie Christine Friederike Marie Bahls. She is listed as male but the boys with her have the same name and age as her brothers so I think this is Friederike. She only appears on this one census. I didn't list each of the boys since they are already listed in the household.

Notice both census are in the 12th Ward but one is in District 6 and the other in District 15. All three boys show up on both census. I don't know why each of the boys are listed separately at ancestry on the 2nd enum. On the actual 2nd enum. census page they are all grouped together but Friederike is not on that census. I looked for any first name or last name that might have been her and didn't see any. Also notice on the 2nd enum original page the ages are all even numbers for everyone, even the adults. There is creative spelling but it's easy to figure out who they are.

All are together on the passenger list when they arrive 13 Dec. 1869 in New York on the ship Friedeburg from Germany. Mother Mina dead 5 weeks later.
