Apparently the Oldfield family arrived in Brown County, Illinois between 1855 and 1860. I found James and his wife “M. A.” in the 1860 census in Buckhorn Township, Brown County (extracted below), but Ivena is not with them, having died in 1859.

 

On a hunch, I checked Ancestry.com and found this same family in Dudley, Hardin County, Ohio in 1850. You may already have this, but I have copied it out below, in case you haven’t.

 

Note the age discrepancies for the parents between the two censuses. This is pretty typical, as I am sure you know.
