Correction - there were censuses for AZ in 1870
through 1910. Not sure everyone was counted
though - the place was awash in cattle wars,
criminals and Indian attacks in those days.
Sorry.
Could not find your James in 1870 or 1880 in AZ.

G'day yourself! The problem is that there was
no
state named Arizona in 1873, only an AZ
territory. AZ became a state in 1912, so
Arizonans would not appear in the regular US
censuses of the states until 1920. There were
some territorial censuses but they are usually
in
separate files (not in Heritage Quest or Family
Search census searches, e.g.). I don't know
which censuses, if any, exist for the AZ
territory. The date of your ancestor's arrival
in Australia would probably not appear in any
US
records either but it should be known to
Australian officialdom (assuming they kept
records as well as the British did.) I wish
you
well in your search and hope someone can come
up
with some old AZ information for you.
Good luck!
Chilly? In Australia?
