Ed, Don't know if this will help, but here are the families for these two index listings: NALLY EDWARD 27 M W MA MA HAMPSHIRE NORTHAMTON 1870 Series: M593 Roll: 621 Page: 376 Visit # 1638 Census enumerated Aug. 16, 1870 Edward Nally, 27, works in cutletry shop, value of real estate: $600 value of personal estate: $400, b. MA Anna, 21, keeping house, b. MA George, 2, at home, b. MA John, 2/12, at home, born March, b. MA Kate McGrath, 48, Domestic, b. Ireland NOTE: I copied the age for baby John exactly as it appears on the census image, but if he was b. in March of 1870, and the census page was enumerated Aug. 16th, he should be 4 or 5 months old---not 2.

I am trying to link this information with Honora Nally who is my wife's great grandmother. Honora was also from Northampton and was most likely already married by the time of the 1870 census. With information regarding both families, I may be able to figure out which one or both or neither of the families is related to my wife's Nally family. Thanks for the response... I appreciate the help. Ed O'Connor >>
