Thank you for the information. I found a Samuel Gault in the 1900 US census, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Born in Ireland, abt. 1857, immigrated to the US in 1882 with his wife Jane. Three sons enumerated in the 1900 census were William, Samuel, jr. and Joseph, all born in Pennsylvania. Also found a Thomas Gault who immigrated to the US in 1887, (he was born in Ireland in 1871) also to Phliadelphia, His wife, Mary, immigrated in 1880 (she was was born May 1863 in Ireland). Their six children were all born in Pennsylvania, James, John, Thomas, Samuel, Mary J. and Thomas J. I could have picked up the two Thomas in error from the census, or the census taker could have made the mistake. I don't know if the above fits into your research. I haven't quite established a link to the Philadelphia Gaults. I just know that Rosetta Galt/Gault's husband John McSheffery made a visit to a brother of Rosetta' s in Philadelphia in abt. 1900 to ask for help in bringing his family over from Belfast. Lois W.
