What sort of 'informantion' are you looking for? you'll get a better response, and will save us wasting time looking for details you might already have, if you can say exactly what you are looking for.

Joseph, wife and 2 daughters in 1870-

I am looking for information on Joseph McKenzie that had 3 daughters: Ellen, born in 1876, Sarah, born in 1869, and Mary born in 1871 which were all born in New York. I need information on their families as to who they married, their children and where they lived. I am at a standstill as I can not find any information on these girls as I do not know who they married. Tom :-[

1892 New York state census has all of them still in Poughkeepsie.  Joseph is working as a fireman, and Ellen is working as a dress maker.

I think this may be the whole family in 1900 census, even though Joseph is listed as born Scotland.  https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MSX9-R8N  Their address was 26 Perry St., which matches the address in the 1880 census.

The names seem to match this entry in the 1910 census, but the daughters' ages seem off:  https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M57Y-7KB

1931 Poughkeepsie city directory
Roosa, Sarah, widow of Burton, resides 18 Corlies Av.

She continues to be in various Poughkeepsie city directories through at least 1960. 

Sarah was listed as the wife on Burton's WWI draft registration card - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KXBW-9ZC

An article on www.fultonhistory.com has a death for Burton in May, 1925.  An obit says he was survived by his wife, who was Miss Sarah McKenzie, three sisters, and one brother.

Mary appears in Poughkeepsie city directories up to 1945 under various spellings of Mackenzie/McKenzie, but she doesn't appear to be in 1946.

Ella is in Poughkeepsie city directories up to 1937, but I don't see her in 1938.
