Meehan, John 1800's OH

I'm doing the same branch of the family. Here's what I know and can prove:
John M. Meehan was born in Ireland about 1806
he came to USA at the age of 30, circa 1836.
He was a journeyman carpenterand was 22 years older than Winifred.Their children were Cornelius born about 1852, David born about 1854, Edward Feb. 1857, Anna Oct. 1867 and probably William J. I can't prove his birth yet.
John died in Cincinnati, Ohio on July 25, 1871 of heart disease and is buried in St. Joseph's cemetery.
1870 census lists Cornelius as a construction laborer.
Edward was first a carriage maker and later a wooodworker
Anna was a clerk and lived with Edward's family. She never married.
William J. was a pipefitter and lived with Edward's family in 1897 but elsewhere later.
Edward is my great grandfather.
Please help me with anything that you have especially regarding Winifred Green. thanks
