yesterday whilst looking for census stuff in USA I discovered a rellie, he was born in Whitwick, Leicestershire 1827 and emigrated in 1857 ( I think) with his wife Hannah and daughter Emma. I can find them on 1880 cens (there was an 1890 cens but this got destroyed) and then nothing.... until I looked deeper, there appears Isaac Lydall in Connecticut (New Britain) with wife Harriet and other children, they have been married for 15 yrs, she is 40 ish and he is 73 ish by this time. The names of the new family really do have some 'Lydall' names. is this coincidence or is it the same chap with wifey number two? I should add that ALL the new children and wifey no2 come from New Jersey, where he lived/worked with wife no1 and daughter Emma.
I can't find Hannah after 1880 either, but also cannot find a death or a remarriage for Isaac.
any ideas how to progress folks?
