Both Windham County, Connecticut and Nova Scotia are IN NORTH AMERICA. There is a place named Ballarat, but it doesnt seem to have been settled by Europeans until the 1830s, and its IN AUSTRALIA! (see: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballarat)
The sources cited for the profile are: 1) Census Returns of ENGLAND and WALES, 1841, which would have been taken on yet another continent almost 100 years after Martha is said to have died; 2) Something on Ancestry.au (a subscription site to which I dont have access); 3) A family tree on Ancestry that is inaccessible because it is private;
