Wow, That may be them. The child, Emily Margaret West may be the Margaret West shown on the ship registry. She was the first born of their children.

Mike,

That is a possibility although Hannah's age doesn't match the ship records ( I guess she could have lied about her age) and the census says born in Connecticut while my Hannah was born in Ireland and came over in 1846.

I don't have any other records of that generation. But Robert, one of my ancestors, migrated to Illinois and eventually Kansas. I believe he died around Meridian, KS around 1900. Also, I have Robert's wife's name as Margaret Elizabeth.

Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve,

This is a follow-up to Mike's post in Message 3.

Someone in the family has submitted this family to a LDS Temple in UTAH.

 If you have a FHC nearby your home they can help you with locating the film or records that were submitted.

CAUTION: There can be errors in anything found in these records and they need to be checked with primary sources.

I will post in next message the information found in the 1870 and 1880 census records.

	Record submitted by a member of the LDS Church. The record often shows the name of the individual and his or her relationship to a descendant, shown as the heir, family representative, or relative. The original records are not indexed, and you may have to look at the film frame-by-frame to find the information you want. A family group record for this couple may be in the Family Group Record Collection; Archive Section. (See the Family History Library Catalog for the film number.) These records are alphabetical by name of the father or husband.

Steve,

1870 Census  Town of Enfield, County of Hartford, Connecticut_P.O. Tompsonville

pg.62 line 3_Dwelling 313

 

Smith Henry  (Initial hard to read) 33_ stone mason_ bn Mass_ notation in wrong column(19). denied the right to vote because of crime committed_ THIEF (correct column20)

_______Bedelius_28_Ireland_ father and mother of foreign birth

_______Elizabeth_ 8_Conn_ mother of foreign birth

_______William H_6_Conn_mother of foreign birth

______   Mary C _2_Conn_ mother of foreign birth

 Conroy Bridget   _60_ Ireland_ works in carpet mill

 Mc Core(?) Kate_24_Ireland_   same as above

Galvin Honora   _50_ Ireland _    same as above

 

This  information conflicts with the date of marriage found in the LDS.If  this is the correct couple they were married about 1861-62

 

1880 Census.

Mike and I both found Margaret West living with the Smith Family in the 1880 census but I never looked at the original census image, just the index on-line.

 This is a very poor quality image;

Suffield ,Hartford County, Connecticut _25 June 1880

Now there is a Henry D. Smith but age is about 10 years off from the prior census 1870

 

Henry D. Smith _  56_blacksmith_ Mass_ Mass_Mass

Harry O. Smith_6_ son _                        _Mass_ Mass_ Mass
Mildred Ida Smith_2_ dau_                    Mass_Mass_Mass
Margaret West_    43_ keeping house    _Conn_Conn_Conn  Did Henry and Belle move to Mass sometime after the 1870 census? The Mass border isn't very far from the County of Hartford. Why would Belle and Margaret have given Connecticut as the place of birth  for themselves and their parents? Did someone else give the information to the Census taker? We'll never know,but this is  why  your family often  seems to have fallen off the face of the earth  because of distorted information.  Will try to follow this family forward. jelora

 

Thanks Jelora,

I'll try to check with the local LDS office...Steve
