Dear List, I have been unsuccessful in locating my great-grandparents in the 1870 New Haven Census. Michael F. Smith, Bricklayer, was shown at 142 Franklin St. in the 1868-1876 New Haven City Directories. Michael married Margaret Moran 2 April 1869 at St. John's Catholic Church. Michael should be about age 25 and Margaret age 24 in 1870 (although they both gave varying ages in the birth records of their children, born Dec 1870 - May 1878). Both Michael and Margaret were born in Ireland. Michael emigrated after 1860 (probably 1863-1865) and died before 1880 (20 Mar 1878), so the only Federal Census that he might appear in, is that for 1870. Margaret (widow of Michael) does appear in the 1880 Census living at the home of John Kelley at 52 Oak St. Questions: Can anyone tell me what Ward, 142 Franklin St. was in, in the 1870 Census? Any suggestions as to how I might proceed to find this couple in the 1870 Census? Thank you in advance, John L. Knabenschuh Garfield, AR
