In trying to trace Irish born Ann Sheils who married Michael Coughlin and was known to have lived near Zanesville, Ohio in the 1860s I found this census record which could be a match for her. Frazeysburg is about 15 miles from Zanesville.
Frazeysburg, Jackson Township, Muskingum County
Coughlin
Michael 25 born Ireland
Ann 21 born Ireland
Mary A 4 born Ohio
Margaret E 2 born Ohio
I have not been able to find any of them in 1870. The girls would have been 14 and 12, generally not old enough to be out on their own.
I've checked church and cemetery records -- no help there either.
Can anyone help me unravel this mystery?

Met you at RootsTech last year, and have been reading your blog since.
ReplyDeleteAncestry has some info that may help; sounds like your Ann Sheils arrived and left Ohio between 1860 and 1870 censuses, according to this: http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/12241114/person/-305975734/story/dcc6fd35-30b0-4108-9d88-2389b28bca48?otid=13073848&opid=13686566389&pg=32768%2c32782&pgpl=pid%2cpid
