Hi, Tazzie -

We have two Isaacs in 1870 and 1880 - one aged 40 in 1870 and one aged 60 in 1870. And no, they aren't the same man! Or at least, I don't think so, even allowing for Ancestry's horrible transcriptions.

Isaac the Younger is a farmer and made his home in Burlington, Kane County in Illinois. He is there in 1870 and again in 1880 with a wife Ellen and a lorryload of kids. He seems to have married Ellen Grady from Ireland after 1851 according to Illinois Marriages. He matches almost perfectly with the elder brother of William Hagreen as per the 1841 UK census.

Isaac the Elder is a carpenter of Rochester, Monroe County, NY in 1870 and 1880. In 1880 he has a wife Eliza and a couple of kids born in NY.  According to Rochester Baptist church records, he was in the area in 1847.

Both Isaacs were born in England. Although I can't tie Isaac the Elder to any UK census records.

    I have been playing with the spellings but nothing fresh coming up for the 60/70 year old Isaac. Cannot see him coming in .
