There are quite a few Henry Cosgroves from Ireland in the census records of the USA.

You need to be sure all the records you have looked at are for the same person.

Hi,all. Looking for Henry,c.1841,Ireland and wife Bridget,c.1842,Ireland.

They appear in 1871 Census at Liverton,Yorks.with their 3 daughters.
I can't seem to find them again until 1901 at Middlesbrough.
I looked at a tree on Ancestry and it appeared to say they were in USA at that time.Like a few Ancestry trees there were blatent mistakes.E.G.Registered USA,1880 and then Arrived 1887.Obviously something not right.
All help greatly appreciated,
Terry L.
