Find Ancestors

There is a tree on Ancestry which purports to have details of John and his children in the USA - I'm a bit sceptical about some of the info on there. They have no wife listed and have a child attached who was born in Pennsylvania in 1858.

This is the 1880 US census they have attached:

Name: John Tradinick
Age: 45
Birth Year: abt 1835
Birthplace: Pennsylvania
Home in 1880: Wilkes Barre, Luzerne, Pennsylvania
Race: White
Gender: Male
Relation to Head of House: Self (Head)
Marital Status: Married
Father's Birthplace: Pennsylvania
Mother's Birthplace: Pennsylvania
Neighbors:

Occupation: Miner
Cannot read/write:
Blind:
Deaf and dumb:
Otherwise disabled:
Idiotic or insane:

Household Members:
Name Age
John Tradinick 45 - married, no wife listed.
William Tradinick 22
Edward Tradinick 18
James Tradinick 11
Charles Tradinick 6
Rebecca Tradinick 4
Joseph Tradinick 3
Joseph Hughes 23 son-in-law
Mary Hughes 17 daughter
Sarah Hughes 4m

Everyone born Pennsylvania. I'm not convinced this is the right family - although John and Edward's ages do match what we know.

EDIT: I realised I'd missed "Wm" off of the US arrival I posted above. Now I'm starting to come round to thinking this may be correct after all.

Closest match I can find for John:

New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957
Name: John Tradenick, occupation miner
Arrival Date: 6 Jul 1865
Birth Year: abt 1837
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Ethnicity/Race­/Nationality: German
Place of Origin: Germany
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England
Destination: United States of America
Port of Arrival: New York
Port Arrival State: New York
Port Arrival Country: United States
Ship Name: Edinburgh

I have doubts about the German nationality, I think they've just grouped a load of people as German because that's where they sailed from. The person next to him on the list is a P Bennett who has also been listed as German.

A possible:

New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957
Name: Sarah Tredinnick
Arrival Date: 26 Mar 1867
Birth Year: abt 1837
Age: 30
Gender: Female
Ethnicity/Race­/Nationality: English
Place of Origin: England
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England and Queenstown, Ireland
Destination: United States of America
Port of Arrival: New York
Port Arrival State: New York
Port Arrival Country: United States
Ship Name: Palmyra

She's travelling with Wm 9, James 7, Stephen 5, Edward 4 and Mary 7 (I think Mary may be 7 months as she's listed as infant whereas the others are listed as child)

The two eldest children match the 1861 census.

EDIT: Just realised I'd missed off Wm.
