I am guessing about l800-1815. The census of 1800 and 1865, were too early and too late. You will need to check the Parish records. You might find some of the information in a Bygdebok, if there is one available for that area. Ron Bestrom

Looking for info on Julia McMannis, maiden name Dalton, sister of Edward Dalton JR. who died on June 6, 1906 at his home in Mapleton, WI. She was living in Racine, Wi at the time of Edward's untimely death. She and Edward were born in Ireland abt 1850. Thanks.
