Temple is in Bell Co, TX.Here is a hyperlink to a site I use when I need to find county in which a town is located, just type in the name of the town, click on search:

You can obtain a copy of Houston's death certificate from county where he died, same way you would locally where you now live.
I think the volunteers on this forum would sitll look for an Alabama family on the 1880 census, wouldn't hurt to ask.
Not much of the census is online, yet.Some GenWeb counties are putting census for just their own county on their sites, but that doesn't help if you do no know the county.Try Bell Co, TX GenWeb site, some GenWeb counties are putting their cemeteries online, and some are putting other records and their local censuses online, too.Some will have a list of volunteers who will do "lookups", not research.And, you can post your query on that site.Sites are manned by volunteers and vary on what they have posted, and material offered.
I don't know what roll of 1890 census you looked at, most of it was destroyed.The only 1890 that survived for AL is a small portion of Perry Co, AL.Even the special 1890 veteran's & their widows census was destroyed -- up to KY.Part of KY and alphabetically on did survive.
I don't know where you live, but find out from local researchers where they do their census research.NARA branches, and many large libraries, with good genealogy collections, have federal census, and it will not be limited to your state.
