It also gives his father's name, John Cranston, and his mother, "Margt Phl..." The given name is certainly Margaret, but it's unclear why the surname is abbreviated; perhaps it's unreadable. But it's a start. John Cranston is a relatively common name, but it does match that of the local Cranston gentry as detailed in the 1851 Griffith's Valuation of the area, supportive of Robert's story. ******************* Pennsylvania, Philadelphia City Death Certificates Name Robert Cranston Event Type Death Event Date 26 Sep 1914 Event Place Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Gender Male Race White Age 69 Birth Year (Estimated) 1845 Birthplace Ireland Marital Status Widowed Father's Name John Father's Birthplace Ireland Mother's Name Margt Phl...
