Hello Gail,
This 1880 census record should "verify" (as much as you can for now) that
Ida is daughter of Fred and Maria McConnell.
I checked the Delaware County, IN 1870 census and the family is not listed.
The children are listed as born Indiana so obviously they could have been
living elsewhere in Indiana in 1870. I don't have that CD nor the index.
I did not find Fred/erick McConnell in the 1860 Indiana Census
