A reproduced portion of the 1880 population schedule carries the institutional heading New Haven Orphan Asylum and an Owen Bray entry. It adds a named residence record to the asylum collection.
Evidence, credit & reuse: Public domain United States federal census record. Simple highlight in the supplied reproduction is retained. Visually verified institution heading and Owen Bray surname/given name. Do not present this small excerpt as a complete resident list. Researcher discusses both Owen and Stephen Bray, but the delivered caption claims only the clearly readable Owen entry. The supplied image is already cropped; full federal census page was not acquired.

Visible heading: New Haven Orphan Asylum. Record type: Schedule 1, population census, New Haven, New Haven County, Connecticut, June 1880. An Owen Bray entry is visible near the bottom of this crop. The crop includes a yellow highlight supplied by the reproducing researcher. The reproduction is partial and small. Full archival roll, enumeration-district, sheet and line references should be confirmed against a complete census image before relying on a precise transcription. This records residence at census time; it is not an admission, discharge, death or burial register.
