(1850–1880). Mortality schedules exist for 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880. They list persons who died during the 12 months before the census was taken. For 1830 to 1900, the day set by law to begin taking the censuses was June 1. The mortality schedules are at the Alabama Department of Archives and History. The Family History Library has the 1850 to 1880 schedules on microfilm:  

1850 (FHL film 1533724 item2) <br>1860 (FHL films 1533724 item3 and 1533830) <br>1870 (FHL film 1405189) (See the 1870 census index above which includes 31 counties.) <br>1880 (FHL films 1405190–91) <br>Mortality schedules include a person’s name, age, race, marital status, state or country of birth, month of death, and occupation. The names are recorded alphabetically by county, city, precinct, and district. In 1850 they list the names of free persons and slaves together. They often gave the slaves’ full names. The 1880 schedule also lists the state or country of birth of the person’s parents. When you find a person listed in a mortality schedule, you can look in the population schedule census for that same county and district. This may help you identify the family to which the deceased person belonged.
