The father was born about 1858 in NY according to this census.  The wife was born about 1860.  They have been married 24 years.  The wife has had 9 children, 9 of whom are still alive.  This means they say they were married about 1876 but I'm not locating them in the 1880 census records.

Only 7 of the 9 children are listed in this census so there are probably 2 older children.

Both of the husband's parents were also from NY but Anna's father was from England and her mother from Canada.  Charles C. Eddy is a Carriage Black for his occupation if I am transcribing that correctly.

In the 1880 census I did find a Charles Eddy that was single.  He has the right year of birth - 1858 - and his occupation is close to what it was in the 1900 census.  He works in a wagon shop.  So, this is a possibility to look into.
