I did like you and searched many different ways to find the family, but like you, I came up with nothing! Then I decided there had to be something for Eliza and her new husband. I found this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Household Record 1880 United States Census Name Relation Mar.

Seems to me it could be the right family just a few wrong names etc.... something easily done for a man with a new family. If this is Eliza, then she must have married a man who just lost his wife and was left with numerous children. I will keep my eyes open and see what else I come up with. I might just head over to www.stevemorse.org and see if I can find them on a ship anywhere for that time period.
