Trying to find Swainston

Can anyone please help friends in USA to find the marriage and parents of Joseph A. Swainston and Jane Irons who were married, possibly 1841 in Ireland, before they went to Canada (Ontario), later going to USA (Michigan). The US Census 1880 shows Joseph was age 65, born 1815 in England; Jane age 56, born 1824 in Ireland. I believe we are looking for Joseph's not listed in IGI ### I am also looking for descendants of Joseph Swainston, bapt 1776 in Richmond Yorkshire, son of William Swainston of Gallowgate. Joseph is brother to my gr. gr. gr. grandfather who went from Richmond, Yorks to Sedgefield, Co. Durham. Could this Joseph have moved away from Richmond, married and had child, Joseph A. in 1815? ### I have placed them together in my tree in the hope someone will confirm or contradict and correct. Thankyou in advance to anyone who can assist. Best regards to all from Don Swainston, England
