Yesterday, I decided to look up Leonard and Eliza's son Henry who went to New York. Henry married Lucinda Ellis in Currin, Maghera, Ireland Apr 23, 1867 and records indicate that they immediately emigrated. I find them in Brooklyn in 1870 with a baby Elizabeth. Then I find Lucinda in 1895 in the City Directory as a widow, living at 94 Graham St.. She is still a widow in 1900 living at 94 Graham with son Henry and daughter Mamie born 1877. Says she had 7 children, 2 living. In 1905, Lucinda is living with son Henry in Brooklyn but I don't have the image for address. In 1910, Lucinda is living with married son Henry, his wife Lena aka Pauline at 4861 Fulton St. In 1911, I find Lucinda's death at 1486 Fulton Street, with parents listed as John Elias aka Ellis and Sarah Reynold so I know it is the correct Lucinda as at her marriage her father is given as John Ellis.
As per online family tree, Lucinda's death was 1911 and that was correct. However, Henry's death is given as 1921 and that doesn't seem to be the case. There is another Henry and Lucinda Watterson couple but I was careful to follow the addresses and ages to be sure I was correct. I never did find Henry's death.
In 1900, Lucinda says she had 7 children, 2 living. In 1910, she says 7 children, 3 living which I think is correct. I didn't find Henry and Lucinda in 1880. Censuses can be useful if they happen to have siblings or parents living in the household, although I doubt that Henry's mother Eliza could have afforded a trip to New York if the family was destitute as Henry's father Leonard's death indicates in 1892, if that was the correct Leonard's death in Cranfield, Co. Tyrone.
This morning, I have written to Evergreen Cemetery where Lucinda is buried, also her daughter Elizabeth W. Johnston, born 1870, to see if perhaps Henry is buried with them. Findagrave says only 8% of cemetery photographed.
