Hi kkm
Welcome to Rootschat!
I take it this is the family?
Marriage 1863:
Michael COX 26 (b abt 1837), resident Cambridge MA
Sarah CARDEN 22 (b abt 1841), residence Boston MA
Census 1870: Arlington MA
Michael 34, b Ireland (abt 1836)
Sarah 31 , b Ireland (abt 1839)
Children: Katie 6, Mary 3, Willie 2, Maggie 1
Death 1874:
Sarah C COX age 30 (b abt 1844), Arlington MA
The age variances are not uncommon, unfortunately!
Also can't see a possible on passenger list - but even if there were, the age discrepancy makes it difficult and an actual passenger list if those times has scant information - hard to find someone for sure unless there's a number of family members traveling together to match to.
Equally a long shot…..but can't discount the following - the 1881 Census connects them to Co. Mayo too:
There is an Irish Carden family in England :

Baptised 21 Jun 1850, John CARDON, born 23 June 1850, son of Willim CARDON and Catherine O'BRYAN his wife. Godparents: Thomas O'BRYAN, Mary O'BRYAN
This boy may have died SQ 1852, West Derby, age 2 years.

DEATH/BURIAL:
Catholic Church record: Catharina CARDEN age 65, of 44 Rutter Street, Died 7 August.
The priest has not completed the section to state when and where she was buried.
The Ford Cemetery record shows same address and records she was buried 10 August 1882 , and also records her age as 57 (an 8 year discrepancy). Grave SV887, Ford Cemetery
DEATH/BURIAL:
Catholic Church record: Gulielmus CARDEN age 80, 1Ct 94 Rutter Street, Died 14 Dec, Buried 17 Dec 1882.
The Ford Cemetery record show same address and death/burial dates but records his age as 60 (a 20 year discrepancy). Grave SV954, Ford Cemetery
ISSUE:
Ann 1839
Sarah 1843
John 1850
William 1854
Catherine 1857
Because of the gap between the 2 eldest (and Irish born children) and the 3 youngest - it can't be certain that Catherine O'BRIEN is the mother of Ann & Sarah. She (Catherine) was a good deal younger than her husband, she might be a second wife.
Food for thought!
