I have a great grandfather who came to NY via Canada from the port of Sligo in 1847. His name was Henry . His father's name was John and brother was James. He was in the furniture business in Brooklyn. I have found him and his family in the 1870 Census in Brooklyn and the 1880 Census in San Francisco. His B.D. was approximately 1832. I'm trying to locate his place of birth in Ireland.
