Family History Beginners Board / Scotsman moving to Ireland in 1800s
« on: Tuesday 17 July 18 00:19 BST (UK) »
I have found a relative who supposedly was born in City of Edinburgh on May 4, 1798. How accurate can this information be ? Are there records for that time period ?
This person appears on the 1850 census for Saratoga Co NY, but states that he and his family were all born in Ireland. Is it possible that he came to Ireland to board a ship to the US, from Newry, perhaps ?? There's a George listed as arriving on a ship called "Brothers", occupation is listed as Smith (Blacksmith ) ? Arrived in NY May 31 1849.
Its also possible that he bought land in Ireland and left from there, on a ship called Brothers?
Any information regarding Scottish or Irish census for 1800s would be greatly appreciated.
