Which member of the family is your ancestor?

Thank you all for the ideas. I will look into Cyara variants. The family were English with no known ties to Ireland but it's worth a further look.

Chempat, I'm descended from Henry Slater's sister, so he's not my direct line of ancestry. Until recently it seemed Henry had vanished off the face of the earth as I could find him in no UK census, but just found a document related to probate in 1847 regarding the will of his grandfather, which helpfully recorded him as a brewer of Rochester, Monroe Co., New York. So I know this is the right Henry but no luck tracing any of the family further so far.

I do wonder if they could have gone to Canada since Rochester is so close the border.

Thanks
Alexander

So a brewer not a farmer.  It is obvious on that census.

My tip is to look on ancestry trees, because if he does stay in USA and has a family, someone usually in America will have him in a tree.

Turns out that the unknown child was actually Deborah.

Not sure what the enumerator thought they were writing.

Possibly the family (had to) split up after Eliza’s death?

Henry Slater, h. Alexander was not in the 1860 Rochester Directory.  I did not look at any other years.

Hi Lisa, thanks for the directory records, I didn't have all of those.
