My 3rd great grandmother, Delia Murray, daughter of Joseph and Sarah who
married approx 1850.
Their other children were Mary Ann, dob approx 1856, Sarah dob approx 1858,
Joesphine, dob approx 1865. Were in US by 1870.
I don't know Sarah's last name.
Hoping someone can fill in some gaps. Goal: Find Delia's roots

Kimberley, I have searched every possible datebase for baptisms and the marriage of Joseph and Sarah but could not find anything. Where did the family settle after they moved to the USA?

Greetings, Anne Marie
They are listed in the 1870 US census as residents
of Pentwater, Michigan, Oceana County.
All of their children are listed as well.
Delia is the person I'm trying to trace. She lived
most of her adult life married to Thomas Soper in Bay City, michigan
Thank you.

Delia's U.S. info is DOB between 1858 and 1863. I've got quite a bit of info while in the U.S., but I can't find anything listing the maiden name of her mother.
The 1870 U.S. census reflects the names of her parents as Joseph & Sarah. I was trying to use that little piece as a new starting point. They entered the U.S. via Canada, perhaps to Wisconsin and then Michigan.
Have a great day.
