Children:

Mary Ada Finding "Mada"
Joseph Finding "Joey"
From: Great Britain
To: US
Ship Name: Rhine
Notes: A primary source for Fred T.'s siblings. Ellen Finding (43) must have traveled separately from her husband Joseph and son Joseph, who would have been 17 at the time. It stands to reason the two Josephs traveled to America ahead of the rest of the family to prepare a place for the large family to settle.
1860 U.S. Census (detail):
Date: 1860
Location: Arcadia, Wayne, New York, United States
Notes: Anne Finding would have been 23. Mary Finding would have been 18. They probably married. Ada from the 1857 record would have been Clara's age in 1860, so her full name may be Ada Clara Finding, or vice versa.
1870 U.S. Census (detail):
Date: 9 Sep 1870
Location: Rochester, Monroe, New York, USA
Notes: F. T. is incorrectly transcribed as F. J. Laura is listed as Louisa due to a data entry and/or transcription error. We know this is the right Fred due to age, occupation, location and place of birth (England). Laura's parents are in the same household: Jacob and Mary O. Keller. They are said to be born in New York.
1875 New York Census (detail):
Date: 21 Jun 1875
Location: Rochester, Monroe, New York, USA
Notes: Fred K. must have died. Ethel is listed as Effa. John is a newborn. Jacob Keller and Mary O. Keller no longer live in the same household. Fred T. was born in England. Laura was born in Wayne County, New York.
1880 U.S. Census (detail):
Date: 1880
Location: Rochester, Monroe, New York, USA
Notes: Laura is said to have died in childbirth, either with Joseph or a sibling who also died. The infant John Finding from 1875 is not accounted for, and may have died. Fred T. is incorrectly transcribed as Fred L. Mary Fore was the Mary Finding listed in the immigration manifest above. The 1875 New York Census lists her as Mary Ford. Laura must have been pregnant with Mada during the 1875 New York Census. The "brother" Charles Fore is not the same as Charles Finding above; he is actually Mary's son Charles A. Fore/Ford, born in Monroe County (possibly named after his uncle Charles Arthur). A family story says Joseph Finding (4) died at age 4 or 5, but the closest cemetery match is a Joseph B Finding who died in 1886. If it's this Joseph, he died at 10.
Burial:
Mount Hope Cemetery, Rochester, Monroe County, New York, USA
