Baker, Otto - born October 1881, age 18, married, born in Indiana. Father born in Ohio. Mother born in Germany. Occupation plumber.
" Nellie - wife, born June 1880, age 20, married, born in Illinois. Parents born in Germany.
******************************************
Not sure if you have this info, but it does indicate Otto was born in Oct. of 1881 so he wouldn't show up on the 1880 census. Unfortunately the 1890 census doesn't exist and he is married by 1900 so putting him in a household with his parents may prove to be quite difficult. You might try contacting the Madison Co., IN clerks office for the marriage application /certificate. That document should have his parents listed on it.
