Yes! I have family letters, death certificates, etc., from 1861 on and have actually found distant cousins from that particular line who don't live terribly far from me (I'm about 15min north of Reading, they're just south of Reading)! I'm now working backwards to find anything pre-1851. Every census I have states that Elizabeth L, John, and Sarah were born in Ireland, with the remainder of their siblings born either in Anglesey or Carlisle.
Considering that my (4)great grandfather Maurice (O')Connell (they tended to drop the O' at times and did completely after his death in 1859) worked as a maths teacher while living in Menai Bridge, and Jane as a schoolmistress, I'd assume that should be easily traceable for that particular period in time? Maurice moved the family to Stanwix, Carlisle as he became the head of a reformatory there. However, what they did/where they lived 1851 and before is an unknown.
