I'm not related to this person.
IS "IVY" her married name or maiden name ??
You did not state this fact.
FYI -
All census records prior to the 1850 census only listed the head of household; whether male or female.
NO specific age was stated for any family member
NO place of birth was stated – city, state, or country
NO city, town, or village is stated – only the county
NO street address was stated
NO marital status was stated – single, married, widowed, divorced
NO family relationship was stated – brother, sister, cousin, son, daughter, wife, inlaw, etc…
NO occupation was stated
NO parental birthplaces are stated
NO race was stated [but assume “white”]
Step children are not enumerated as “step” children
1850, 1860 & 1870 census records do not show family relationships or parental birthplaces.
1850 is the 1st census that lists all family members
Immigration data was not asked on census records until the 1900 census.
