Smith family b Belfast c 1850

General Genealogy

I have a family who moved from Lancashire or Cheshire to N. Ireland c 1851 to 1855 and then I have problems.

Charles Smith b c 1817 Ireland.  He married Sarah Manchester b c 1826 Ormskirk in 1846 Manchester.  They appear on the English censuses in 1851 through to 1871 and then 1891 Sarah is a widow with some of her children in Barrow in Furness.  I would like to trace their children, find 1881 census and possible death for Charles her husband. 

Here is what I know;

1)   Jane Smith b 1847 Upholland; found in 51 Birkenhead and 61 Liverpool census    after that I have lost her.

2)  Henry Smith 1850 Birkenhead.  married Emma Morgan 1877 in Barrow.  1881 and 91 in Barrow with Wife and Children.  No death known, but otherwise ok with him.

3)  Charles b 1851, Belfast; married Elizabeth Gilboby 1876 Lancashire.  1881 and 1891 Barrow  died 1903 belfast.  I have his children from the census.  His son Charles Daniel Smith married in Ireland 1910 Belfast, to Esther Bailie, can't find any children.

4)  James Smith 1857 Liverpool; I am OK with him

4)  Sarah Ellen Smith b 1860 Liverpool.  1861 / 71 census  (Mother a Widow in 1871)  Lost after that

5)  Alice 1866 Liverpool  as above.  

Hope someone can help 

Thanks Lynne
