Have you tried for a Vermont death record? I don't know anything
about Vermont records.
There is no NH state census for 1855.
The towns were supposed to forward their records to the vital records
bureau in Concord when they started a central records office. Some
did, some didn't.
I have found families where all the children of one person were
recorded but none of the children of his brother.
But it is worth a try - however, you pretty much have to go there. Or
you can try the films for Landaff town records from the LDS.
