Hi, Maryanne - Unfortunately, your guy came over in between the 1840 and 1850 Federal censuses; perhaps county census was taken in an off year. Many states had them. I am sending you several links but be forewarned some may no longer be active. This list is very busy but overall even rootsweb lists are ghost towns. I have not been on most of these sites, but you made me realize I haven't tried hard enough to find my Owen Treanor from Ulster (probably County Down based on his brother's tombstone). Thanks for the unknowing nudge. :-) Be careful of any site asking for money and promising you vital records. You most likely will have to pay I recommend you work directly with the official website listed next: THIS IS THE OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT WEBSITE FOR WESTMORELAND COUNTY (WHERE KENSINGTON IS LOCATED). http://www.co.westmoreland.pa.us/index.aspx?nid=333 - death records, wills and link to other vital records. http://www.co.westmoreland.pa.us/index.aspx?NID=1572 http://www.archives.com/genealogy/vital-records-westmoreland-county-pa.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Kensington,_Pennsylvania - background on Kensington that is now part of greater Philadelphia. He may have sailed directly to Philly, my Irish great grand uncle did. There has always been a large port there. Ship records are very scanty and are held at NARA in Washington DC. It falls under Westmoreland county. http://www.co.westmoreland.pa.us/index.aspx?NID=152 - Court House may have early records. Effective April 13, 2015, exact payment must be included with any document(s) sent for recording. If you have questions in regards to any of the above fees, or need assistance in calculating fees prior to sending your document(s), you are encouraged to contact us at (724) 830-3518 or email ROD@co.westmoreland.pa.us. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Library_of_Philadelphia - the library did not open until 1894 but their research department, assuming they have one, may have some records or old newspapers. Or know where to direct you. I'd suggest you contact Catholic churches listed in one of these links. http://www.pa-roots.com/westmoreland/ - Westmoreland County Genealogy Project has many sources listed. https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Westmoreland_County,_Pennsylvania_Gen ealogy - the Mormon site. http://www.pagenweb.org/~westmoreland/ http://genealogytrails.com/penn/westmoreland/ http://resources.rootsweb.ancestry.com/USA/PA/Westmoreland/ http://usgwarchives.net/pa/westmoreland/ http://www.westmorelandhistory.org/genealogy/index.cfm https://genpa.org/county/westmoreland-county-pennsylvania http://www.interment.net/us/pa/westmoreland.htm http://noel.mcn.org/Westmoreland/Westmoreland.htm http://www.pa-roots.org/data/list.php?841 Good hunting!

However I am still on the search for my other Ancestor who left Tyrone in 1846 for USA. He died in an accident on 14 June 1848 and was buried in the Franklin Cemetery Kensington PA. I would have thought it to be a Coroners case. However I can not find him on the Cemetery buriel list,although I understand the Cemetery was eventually built over and turned into a Playground.How shocking. Some bodies were removed, but I wouldn't know where to start looking. No record of the ship he left Ireland on either so it is a real brick wall for me. Wonder if he may have landed in NY first as many of them did.Following his death, his Wife and family emigrated to Australia. I have plenty of info on them fortunately.Any idea Also may thanks to listers prior to me going from NZ to Tyrone . Had a wonderful trip, took many photographs of places my Ancestors had walked. The church in Bligh where they married and had family Baptised Such a beautiful part of Ireland. Sadly no headstones found.
