Ireland / Re: 1851 Irish Census Search Confusion
« on: Wednesday 13 September 17 05:47 BST (UK) »
Hi Pharkins - I'm sorry to say, but I don't think your Hugh is the same as the one on this census search form. I mentioned that the Peter here settled in Columbia, Pennsylvania, and it seems some of his other siblings did too, including Cormick, Michael, and... Hugh.
When the Peter I mentioned in Columbia died, the informant listed his birth parents as "William McCall" and "Mary Thomas" of "Drimloost, Ireland." This isn't quite an exact match, but it's pretty close to the parents listed on Cormick's death certificate ("Wm McCall" and "C Thomas" of Drimlost, Ireland) and Hugh ("William McCall" and "Catherine Thomas" of Ireland). The Hugh from Drimalost settled in Steelton, Pennsylvania, near Columbia, and married Annie Keogh. He fathered four children, before passing away in 1913. I'm happy to link you to these documents on Ancestry, if you'd like.
Sorry I couldn't help you prove this link, but hopefully this at least eliminates one of the possible options for you.
