This is my 3G-grandfather.

I'm seeking to confirm that i have the right person leaving Ireland and any additional info, such as parents, place of birth, date of birth, siblings, etc.

Born anywhere between 1805-1810, w/ best guess 1807-08.
Born in Ireland, possibly Co.Sligo.

Lived most of his life in Monmouth County, New Jersey, USA.

I have some immigration and naturalization info on a Martin Wymbs.  What i cannot be 100% sure of is whether these are on "my" Martin.

Emigration from Ireland
  On 20 Jun 1825 three individuals w/ surname WHIMS left Ireland
  on the ship Virginia bound for New York.  They were
  1. Martin, age 17
  2. Pat., age 17
  3. Michael, age 12

Naturalization in USA
  An archivist helped me find a record for Martin D. ULYMBS
  naturalized 3 Nov 1838 in Common Pleas Court, New York County.
  It's easy to see how a "W" could become a "UL" with a transcription
  mistake.

In the US i can follow him in the 1850 through 1880 census records.

He died in 1883.
