But finding British place names like Denver or Boston or Calgary usually just shows where the first settlers in America were from.  It's an accident of history that some of them evolved into big cities.

Our censuses vary a good deal in the precision of the birthplace information.  1841 - nothing, except whether born in the same county.  I don't know how the enumerators' questions were framed after that, but often the entry may be just the name of a farm, which will need a large-scale map to find. Hence the Californias and Pennsylvanias.  Later it was often a parish, easier but more vague.
