Possibly unrelated but a Simon Samuels Age 24 Native Country Great Britain arrived in New York on the same ship on  22 Oct 1848

One tree on Anc suggests the Joseph and Clara married in 1844 in Portsea, Hampshire   Dec Qtr 1844    Portsea I   Vol 7 Page 291    - Can't see any children from this marriage on the GRO Birth Index

Thank you for that info Kay99

Sadly all the Samuels seem to disappear after 1848

If the couple who married in 1844 in Portsea are the right couple it does tie in reasonably well with this Clara living in Portsea in 1841

Isaac Cohan    60 General Dealer
Clara Cohan    20
Esther Cohan    15
Rebecca Cohan    15
Amelia Cohan    14
Jacob Cohan    7

Yes Kay, those are the family in Portsea.  Isaac is the Father. Actually my Gt Gt Grandfather.
I have Clara's marriage to Jacob Samuels 1844 But our problem is that we have no Idea what happened to them once they reached USA.  Hence I was wondering about the NY census

Thank you for your time
