I have learned a lot since I posted last.  I found my Jenkins in the Dublin Workhouse Feb. 18,1845 entering and leaving April 28,1845.  There were mother Mary aged 30, Ralph aged 5, Eliza aged 3 and Chas. aged 4 months.  I Think these were ages on entering the workhouse.  Father John and son John were not w/them.  I Then found them  in the Rathdown Union Workhouse entering on Jan. 11, 1848 and leaving  (To America)  on April 12. 1850.  Father John aged 40, mother Mary aged 34/37 (can't read it well), Kids: John aged 13, Ralph aged 11. Eliza aged 10 and Chas. aged 3.  It states they were from Bray which was crossed out and Union at Large written in.  I know from Ralph's US obit he was born in Bray.  I then found Baptisms for : Eliza Jenkins  at a RC church in Bray  on Oct. 10, 1841 w/parents John and Maria GALBERT/ALBERT/HALBERT  (Supposed to be SAMMON/SALMON). With God Parents Thomas FLINN and Julia MOORE and Ralph Jenkins son of John and Maria Halbert/Albert/ bapt. on April 14,1839 w/Gods of Pat. Bryan and Maria Kelly.   I then found a (m) record for a John JENKINS and Mary SAMMON Nov. 24,1832 in Enniskerry Parish, Dublin ,Wicklow .  Witnesses James BRYAN and Sara Cortney/ or?.  Then I find a Bapt. record for a Bridgida Jenkins daughter of John and Maria SALMON Nov. 4, 1833 w/Gods Jacob and Maria Mahon.   All of the Bapts were RC in Bray.  In the US Mary/Maria Jenkins is listed on her death register as  Born SALMON and all other records call her Mary/Maria DWYER.    I do not know who Bridgida was  as there was no one by that name who came to the USA w/the family and I think IF she was of my Jenkins she died in Ireland before 1845 when I find them in the workhouse.   If Anyone can find me more info it would be greatly appreciated.  I can Not find them in Ships  in Ap/May of 1850 but they R in the US in the 1850 census but Without Daughter Eliza who is not found in any census until she is found in the 1870 census as Eliza Baldwin  in CT.  She is known to have (m) a Baldwin in VT in Jan. 1860 but can not be found in 1850 US anywhere. Or in 1860 as Eliza Baldwin in NY, VT, Ct, NH, o r Mass all areas she lived.  .By 1880 she has (m) a McDonald and is easily  followed after that.

Hello Bob, I used to use this site often a few years ago and recently returned as I am helping a lady in England w/research on her family that came to America.  I have received several PM's in  regards  to the research which will be of great help to her and I need to know if there is a way I can send Her the info directly from my PM page and if not is there any way I can Allow Her to access my PM page?   I have nothing there which can not be viewed by all.  Thanks a lot for any help.  Lea Mitchell in America.  Known as Leagen here.

How do I access the LDS pilot program?

On that Union,NJ death record it says the record is "For The Year Ending MAY 31 1880" so Terence actually died in DEC 1879.  That is why u don't find him in the 1880 US census.  Do u know his wife's name?
