Title: Sellars
Post by: Ann W on Sunday 27 July 25 05:07 BST (UK)
I am looking for the Sellars family.    Father John 1829 and mother Elizabeth 1834 born in Derbyshire England.

Hoping someone can help

What I am trying to work out was their son Andrew  born in USA   And maybe their other children.

If someone can see them in the 1860 federal census.

Children
Arthur  1855. George 1853. Hannah or Harriet 1855 James Frederick 1857 Andrew 1858 John Robert 1860. Elizabeth 1862.

They took their family to New Zealand,  1864

Many thanks. I appreciate your time.  Xxx

Hi, looks like you might be correct, the family in Pennsylvania looks possible.
Would need further checking, all born in Pennsylvania apart from George.

Hi,
   It looks like Cranston, Rhode Island 28 June 1858.

   There seems to be quite a lot about this family on Geneanet and Ancestry.

The image for the 1860 census is a little more legible here - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9BSC-9VQ6?wc=7QL9-YGV%3A1589434177%2C1589435141%2C1589435469%26cc%3D1473181&cc=1473181&lang=en&i=28
