In the 1880 census of Ontonagon County, Michigan I find Thomas Kneale (spelled Kreale in the extract) married to Ann Rule. Thomas, age 57, copper miner, born Isle of Man. Ann 56, Keeping house born England (Illogan, Cornwall).

I am trying to find more information on Thomas. Ann is my 2nd great grand aunt. I believe she and Thomas married prior to the 1851 Census of Camborne, Cornwall as Ann is no longer living at home. Their daughter Carrie (Caroline ?) was born in England in 1854. Their daughter Julia was born in Michigan in 1865. In 1880, Ann and Thomas are living in the same village as her brother John Rule and wife Harriet. Ann and John's sister Harriet is visiting with the Kneale's on census day.

Thomas is not with the family in the 1900 census of Houghton County, Michigan.
