James & Mary Bell, Ireland to USA
Looking for information on the paremts of Sarah Jane Bell born 4 July 1850 in New York. Supposedly her parents, James Bell & Mary Jane Hamilton, were married 15 November 1849 in Ireland & emigrated to New York. If these are the right parents than they had to have crossed the Atlantic in late '49 or early '50.I have not been able to locate these folks in the 1850 or 1860 census. I did find a James & Jane Bell who died both in Manhattan in the 1850s but have no idea if they were married or the parents of Sarah Jane.The first real proof I have of any of them is when Sarah appears in the 1880 cernsus as the wife of Hugh Mickle in Philadelphia.
Any data will be greatly appreciated.
