- I need suggestions.
-
- My great grandfather was named Joseph McWilliams. I have been able to
- find out very little.
- This is what I know for sure:
- 1870 Indianapolis, IN marries Lizzie Hackett
- (have marriage license)
- 1880 Hamilton Co. IN appears in census in Jackson Twp as
- MCWILLIAMS (found because the rest of the
- family listed correctly but no name for him)
- 1894 Hamilton Co. IN obituary lists him dying Dec 18 at age of 54
- 5 miles west of Arcadia
-
- Problem: The only tidbit that any one knows of his origin is Parish
- Ardstraw, County Tyrone.
- How do I get him from Indianapolis to Ireland. I checked the City
- directory of Indianapolis for 1865-1872 and Joseph appears only in 1870
-
- Any hints or suggestions are welcome.
