The Sacred Heart Orphan Asylum For Girls was located on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit, in Enumeration District 273. The Census Taker was Walter A. Newberry who recorded the staff and orphans on June 5, 1880.
There are a few "Orphans" listed who are over age 18 years...I am not sure why they were still considered orphans, but they were listed that way.
This is an index of that census, for full details view the 1880 Wayne County , Detroit, Michigan 1880 Census ED 273 Page 49.
There my be some spelling errors in surnames due to transcribing the hand writing of the census taker
