Recently found information on my gr gr gr grandmother and am trying to piece together any "between the lines" information that may be in the concrete information that I do have. I'd appreciate any help other Irish researchers may have to offer. Name: Julia CARL b. abt. 11 June 1834, Northampton, Hampshire Mass [birth calculated from age at death] [location from birth record of child] m. 1849/1850 location unknown [1850 census has box checked for "married within the year"] Benjamin Knight Bennett. Other clues: 1850 census Northampton, Ma. Michael Carle 40 Laborer b. Ireland {abt 1810} Alice Carle 40 b. Ireland {abt 1810} Patrick Carle 12 b. Mass {abt 1838} Julia Carle 15 b. Mass {abt 1835} Mary Carle 7 b. Mass {abt 1843} Catherine Carle 4 b. Mass {abt 1846} Richard Carle 4 b. Mass {abt 1846} Richard Carlyle 80 b. Ireland {abt 1770} I checked NEHGS for any births in Northampton that may be for this family but had no luck with that. I am hoping that this is her family group. Unfortunatly when she died of consumption in Woonsocket RI on 20 may 1876, the information on the certificate was sparse and the only information I have on parentage is the identification as "IRISH". My questions: what wuld prompt an Irish family come to the US prior to 1835? Where did they go? I cannot find the family in later census records is the progression of the name from Caryle, to Carle, to Carl a logical one or am I reading more into this that exists? I'd surely appreciate any help one may have to offer on ideas for further research and places to look. Kind regards, Sandy from Colorado

Sandy, You mentioned that Julia Carl is married in the 1850 census with husband Benjamin Bennett. What town? If she is listed in that household, then she shouldn't be the same Julia Carle in the Northampton 1850 census that you listed before. (But I know mistakes do occur.) Please let me/us know where you found her in the 1850 and 1860 census.
