I'm looking for a Michael O'Hara!.!.!.!.!.!.!. Born about 1830!. He married a CeIestia who was born 1927 in New York, and had the kids William O'Hara, Lizzie O'Hara, Alice O'Hara, and Mildred O'Hara (later changed to Garfield)!. I can not find him on a census record!. But all the census records I can find with his kids, say that he was born in Vermont, New York, and Ireland!.

He may have been using his middle name!. Here's the Milwaukee City Directory and it appears to be the same Celestia:
Name: Celista B!. O'Hara (widow Wm!. M!.)
Location 2: r!. N!. Mil!. Roundhouse grounds!.
Year: 1890
City: Milwaukee
State: WI
Since William was born in Wisconsin in 1858, it's reasonable that his parents may have also been there in 1855 when the State did their own census!. It's separate from the federal censuses and you have to order the films through the LDS or Interlibrary loan!. Here's more on that: http://www!.wisconsinhistory!.org/genealog!.!.!.
It appears they may have been in Minnesota for a brief stint!. The kids' names are about the same, save for Lizzie being Lettie!. See what you think!. BTW, Celestia's father is listed as being from VT in this state census!. It might not be your Celestia, but maybe it is!. http://content!.ancestry!.com/browse/view!.!.!.!.
Here the transcriptionist goofed on her name!. But when you look, she's there!. It says she had 10 kids and only 3 were living in 1910!. http://content!.ancestry!.com/iexec/!?htx=V!.!.!.
I'm still looking for the husband!. Unfortunately, Wisconsin was lousy at keeping records in the 1850s and 60s!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Hi, as you probably already know, there are tons of Michael O'Hara listings! Ancestry!.com is the best site around, although sometimes I find I have to look outside it for certain records!.
You wrote that he was born 1830 and she was born 1927, from the links you provided it looks like she was born 1827 or 1830!.
I did find a few sites which you might find helpful (the first 3 are all related):
