We found the date and place of the marriage of Alexander and Isabella at the LDS Web Site:          http://www.familysearch.org/
The wedding was held in High Church,Paisley,Renfrew,Scotland in 1865. The date enabled us to narrow our search for the date of their departure to the United States.

Alexander and Isabella sailed on the Iowa,out of Glasgow in 1866.The information shown below,on a copy of the ship's manifest,was found at the Immigration Ships Transcribers Guild Web Site:ISTG - Ships Passenger Lists
  Other lists:Arnie's Home Page & Immigration and Ship's Passenger Lists Research Guide
 THE OLIVE TREE GENEALOGY: Index to New Netherland Ships' Passenger Lists
     Note: The Captain's name, James Craig and the names of two of the passengers, Alex'r Gray and Mrs. Gray,(Isabella Craig).They were from Scotland,not Ireland.We think that a braufounder is a brass worker.

Below,you will find information from the Paterson,N.J.1870 Census. Notice the names of the children.

The third child's name was James.Could this be the grandson of the ship's captain James Craig?Isabella's father?

Paterson was known as the Silk City until about the middle thirties,when the mills moved to the South where labor was cheaper.Many immigrants came from the mills in the British Isles to work in the United States.
           The above Census was found at the Indian River Family History Library in Vero Beach, Florida,which is known for its superb genealogical resources and particularly for its materials on New York and New Jersey.
