Okay, so you know there's:
(1) a possibility other persons listed on an 1850 census
are not proveably related to Thomas Maher,
(2) Thomas Maher's death certificate states "parents
unknown",
(3) Thomas Maher is believed to arrived in the U.S. at
about age 9 y/o,
(4) There are no available immigration records for this
person, Thomas Maher, therefor
(5) You know yourself to have no proveable relationship
Thomas Maher, however,
(6) You suspect some sort of relationship to his person
may exist although an obvious gap of one or more
generations between yourself and his person exists
in your research.
So, I presume your interest in this person is not typical geneological hobby research.I won't presume what your reasons are but will tell you that they'd make quite a bit of difference in how to research.
