Classification: Query
Surnames: Suhl, Seul
I have attached a copy of the 1880 census from Cook County, Illinois with a Seul famly. The father is Henry and the mother is Margaret. There are 8 children. M. Anna, age 11, John J, age 9, Eva, age 7, Henry B, age 6, Anton, age 4, August, age 3, and Mary, age 1. Both of the parents were born in Prussia.

I know the surname is spelled differently but don't allow that to get in your way of checking further. Many families spelled their name different ways than what they are today.
There are also many occasions when those that were transcribing the original documents had difficulty making out the handwriting and took their best guess.
--------------------

Checking a little further, I found that there was another Anton Suhl that married in 1880 to a Margaretha Becker. The following is from the LDS website www.familysearch.com:

I hope this helps some. I'll continue to check various sources as I can.
