Solar (Benjamin & Bernard) Family of Cincinnati Ohio mid 1800’s to early 1900’s
I’m looking for info on the family of Bernard (Benjamin) Solar b. 16 Jul 1858 Cincinnati OH. He was the son of Benjamin Solar (b.abt.1816.PA d.1858.OH) and Barbara Lambert (b.abt.1817 in Baden/Prussia/Ger and d.aft.1880, prob Cincinnati). The other Children of Benjamin and Barbara were Mary b.1841, Henry b.1843, Lena b.1846, Josephine b.1845, George b.1849, Frances/Frank b.1853.
Benjamin (the one b.1858) was called Benjamin the early years of his life, but used Bernard in the later years. Benjamin married Margaret “Maggie” Powers (Hanley) in the 1880’s. Margaret Powers b. 01 Nov 1854.Can Immigrated to US cir 1870 and somewhere married James Hanley and had at least 1 daughter Ellen “Nelle” Hanley. Margaret then married Benjamin/Bernard Solar in the 1800’s as she had at least 2 children with him, Edward Ross Solar (b. 02 Nov 1890 Cincinnati, d. 15 Sep 1961, and buried in Cincinnati) and William M Solar (b. 31 Oct 1877 Cincinnati, d. 28 Jul 1967 and buried in Cincinnati). Both of these sons lived in NJ & NY areas in the early 1900’s. From the 1910 Census it would appear Margaret had 2 other children by one or the other Husbands. One of them, Bridget, was a daughter of James as she was b.abt.1873 and married a Mr Tighe and had daughter Marie b.abt.1898.IN. Apparently Bernard Solar d. 18 Sep 1827, but records related to Margaret and Bernard are most strange in the early 1900’s.
I am trying to find descendants of the families who might have information related to Margaret. Records show her Mother being Mary Ryan and Father Michael Powers who were both born in Ireland and went to Canada and apparently then to Cincinnati. Daughter Ellen “Nelle” Hanley married Michael Joseph Ryan and several family members of all these families lived together in the early 1900’s in Cincinnati and I am trying to see if there is any evidence of where the Mary Ryan, mother of Margaret, originated from in Ireland.
I know someone is researching this family because of corrected names in Ancestry Census Records.
