Dating this plate

At three months old, Howard M Caryl would be unlikely to appear in any census himself. The plate carries no date, so the time frame can only be estimated — likely the 1870s or 1880s. Because the plate was found in New York, a search was made for Caryl families there in the 1870 U.S. Federal Census, producing the candidate matches listed below.
