Colson/Colston/Coleston

Looking for relatives of William Colson/Colston/Coleston (a carpenter) and Anne Harris who left Street/Streete for the USA in 1851 with five children: Joseph, Margaret. Catherine, Mary Ann, Elizabeth, and infant William. and an adult relative: Catherine Colston. They sailed from Liverpool to Philadelphia eventually settling in Brooklyn, NY. Young William went on to become an Alderman in Brooklyn, and Commissioner of Railroads in 1892-94.  They belonged to the Church of Ireland.  Would love to determine where they lived and know more about their lives and their voyage. Thank You!
