I can give a link to Ancestry if that would help.

Ok. I don't have a lot of experience with researching geanology so bear with me and have patience.
I need to clarify some of the facts that I mave have written.
My great-grandfather is James L Hawkins and my great-grandmother is Mary Catherine Price Barrow.
Mary Catherine Price was married to James Barrow and he died after 2 years. She then married James Hawkins. She is not a Baumy. The Baumy in the family would be Mary Catherine Hawkins daugher-in-law by the name of Emma Mae Baumy. Emma Mae Baumy was married to William Andrew Hawkins and they had 10 children.
I thought that I had the correct 1860 US census that showed James/Mary but the one that I have is the one that everyone else has showing a James/Ellen which is not the correct family.
I cannot open the link for the 1900 US census so I can't view the data.
In the 1870 US census it shows that James/Mary had 5 children with these birthdates - Thomas- 1853, John- 1856, Mary- 1865, William- 1867, Catherine- 1870. Note: The names for the 1870 census is shown as Haskins but on the handwritten copy it could be Haskins or Hawkins so is this the correct family.
I found the following children for John/Mary - John- 1856, A Maria- 1857, Peter- 1859, Mary- 1865, William- 1869.
In the 1870 US census it shows Mary Catherine Hawkins as age 37 born in 1833. The 1880 US census shows her age as 40 born in 1840. I'm not sure what the 1890 US census shows but these dates and ages don't match up.

James married to Mary Catherine Baumy formerly Barrow, nee Price on 20 Jul 1854 in USA
based on 1870 census that is - AFTER Thomas's birth
Mary was a widow at marriage, is Thomas her son or was James a widower also?
A Familysearch or Ancestry tree link might be the quickest so everyone can see the full picture.
I have not found any documentation showing that James was a widower or not. I'm also not sure that the Haskins is the same as Hawkins so the children may be wrong.
I am still reading all of the information and looking at the databases but as I said earlier this is a lot of information to process and will take me some time.
I do not like using FamilySearch and don't think that it has all of the data that I need.
Thank you for helping me research my family. I know that it is taking up a lot of your time and I appreciate it. You all seem to be very knowledgeable and I don't think that I can do it on my own.
So what steps do you suggest that I should do and are there any questions?

I am still reading all of the information and looking at the databases that has been given to me. There is a lot so it is taking me awhile to read them all.
I am getting all of the US census that are available and searching for all of the children form James/Mary. On the 1870 census there are 2 new children that I didn't know about. It looks like they had 5 children. I am using FamilySearch but not finding all of the children.
I am attaching the death certificates for James amd Mary. Is that what you were referring to in your email?

Thanks to all of the help and suggestions. When I made my first post I didn't expect to receive much help. Now I am overwhelmed by all of you suggestions and right now I not sure what my next steps are going to be.
I will get all of the information that I can for the children of James/Mary and then get all of the census information.
It is frustrating that I have death certificates and other documents stating that both James and Mary were born in Ireland but I cannot find out what county they were born. I also don't have information on when they immigrated or their naturalization.
I have been using FamilySearch.com but I am not finding much information so I guess that I will have to get a membership to Ancestry.com . I find that $169 for 6 months is expensive but I think they probably have the most historical information stored.
I think that I have stated on an earlier post that in the 1980's my father received a letter stating that he is the sole heir of some property. My father has passed away so I don't know where in Ireland but one of my brother's said it was in Cork but I have no document to prove this.
Thanks

I guess that I worded that wrong. I was asking if it was worth paying for a subscription to Ancestry.
Do they have access to databases that are not available in the suggestions that you sent

Is Ancestry.com the best site to use when I search for information or are there others that you would recommend?

Jon_ni,
Thanks for the information. I have no living relatives so I don't have a lot of information to help me trace my ancestry. I want to visit Ireland but was hoping that I could find where my family lived before I made the trip.
I'm not sure of their relegion and that seems to be very important to tracing the history.
Since I do not have much information would it help if I hired someone to do the research?
Would they have access to databases that I do not have access to?
Thanks
Rick

Debra,
Thanks so much for the help. The information that you sent for the 1880 cenus is definitely the Mary that was married to James L Hawkins.
Mary Catherine Price was also born in Ireland but not sure where. I have her birthdate as Jan 1839.
I was hitting a brick wall trying to get the information for James birth records in Ireland or immigration dates. Using the correct birthdate should help.
I will look at the baptism records that you sent to me earlier.
In 1980-1984 my father received a letter from the Irish government letting him know that he was the sole heir to some property. Not sure where but I was told that it was a castle. Is there a way to look at land records for that period?
