    1. [FOX] 1890 Phila. FOX
    2. The Auchs
    3. I have placed a listing of the FOX names in the 1890 Philadelphia City Directory (PCD) onto my website. This is an excerpt compiled by another researcher. It contains only the FOX surname with the first names from A-Z, or W in this case. For those unfamiliar with the PCD, it contains the name,occupation and address of individuals. If a person was a proprietor, the name and address of the business is sometimes found too. Children are not listed nor are women, unless they were 'independent'. The original PCD is alphabetical by "surname, first name" but I spent some time with the excerpt and grouped together individuals who were linked by the same house number and street. For instance, in the original, Benjamin is in the B--- section and Elizabeth is in the E--- section. On this page, you find Benjamin and Elizabeth together under Benjamin because they lived together. (This is my husband's widowed great-great-grandmother and her son) http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~familiesacrosstime/foxpcd1890.htm Use Ctrl+F to find a name. I do not have additional PCD pages or names. This is all I have. There may be errors, either from the original PCD or the transcription. Please verify any conclusions you draw. I hope that the additional groups are helpful - I went through the exercise out of curiosity to see how many, or few, of the Fox families tied together. I resisted the urge to group together "neighborhoods", so take a second look if you find your ancestor and look by street name alone...maybe the brother lived down the street.... Good luck.
