Help on tracing Dalzell ancestry

In attemping to fit the pieces of my family puzzle I have found the following:
Hugh Dalzell of Ballyward, Ireland and his brother John Dalzell
The details
Hugh Dalzell born about 1832 - occupation Harness maker - immigrated to Saint John, New Brunswick, married Mary Jane Cathers, daughter of George Cathers, in Saint John
On the 1860 US census they are living in Concord, New Hampshire with their son Edward aged 4 and Hugh's borther John born in Ireland in 1835, occupation carpenter
Then Hugh goes back to Ireland and dies in Ballyward on 2 January 1862 living Mary Jane a widow with the one son Edward
Fast forward to 25 June 1871 Mary Jane Cathers Dalzell dies at the home of her brother on Wentworth St. Saint John New Brunswick
another fast forward to 27 Oct 1886 in Boston, Mass - Edward F. Dalzell marries Annie E. Hutchinson (both from Saint John)
another fast forward to 1910 US census - Edward and Annie are living in Boston
I noticed there were Ballyward Dalzells who went to the Boston area - wondered if there was a connection -
