Ohio Families

The 1880 census said Michael was born about 1839
The 1900 census said Michael was born in November 1837
The 1910 census said Michael was born about 1843
The 1920 census said Michael was born about 1834
His death record said Michael was born in 1846.
His marriage record includes a sworn statement by his father in law that Michael was at least 21, in other words, born before April 11, 1842.

Michael's 1920 census information said he arrived in the US in 1840

on the 1900 census both Michael and Bridget said they had arrived in the US in 1860. It might be correct for Michael, especially if he was natualized i n 1864 as he said. But Bridget's family was in the US before that.

I did not find Michael Hussey in 1860 Gilead Township, Morrow, Ohio, United States

Michael's 1920 census information said he was naturalized in 1864. I browsed the cards and didn't find a naturalization index card for him in the Cuyahoga County files at familysearch.org.

they were living in Galion, Ohio, probably in the part that is in Morrow County, when their daughter Margaret was born

Living in Morrow County when their son James was born

I have not yet found Michael and Bridget Hussey on the 1870 census. I found a lot of railroad workers, many Irish, in Galion, Crawford County. I found Bridget's parents. But not Michael Hussey and family. You would think they would be living close to her parents.
