Could someone please do a lookup on Ancestry for Mary Murdoch especially on the 1841 census?
There are 2 for Mary born about 1801...one for Lancaster, England, the other Middsex, England.

I am trying to find who my Benjamin married in England. He was born in Nova Scotia about 1796. He must have gone back to England to marry. They had a James, about 1823, John about 1827 and a Jane born in 1833 in London. The boys show up the US 1850's census as ship carpenters in NY. I found Benjamin on the 1860 census in Michigan along with John as farmers. I think James stays in NY. Jane ends up in Nova Scotia and marries in 1850 there.

I am trying the name of Mary Stairs Murdoch because one of Jane's daughters was named Mary Stairs Harvie. James Murdoch named his daughter Mary J. Just a guess at this point!

Thanks,
Karen
