I think the transcribers had a terrible time deciphering the writing. I have enclosed 2 examples of Morton changed to Martin on the first one and Morton changed to Morgan for Samuel and Nancy. You might have to search for different spellings. HTH Audrea from Ontario, Canada # 1 1860 Philadelphia Census BUCKLEY MORTON 927 24W.7P.PHILADELPHIA BUCKLEY SAMUEL 735 24W.5P.PHILADELPHIA BUCKLEY SARAH 734 24W.5P.PHILADELPHIA BUCKLEY THOMAS 1039 24W.8P.PHILADELPHIA MARTIN NANCY 734 24W.5P.PHILADELPHIA (I think this is Nancy Morton, Sarah Buckley's mother, but the indexer spelled it incorrectly. Notice she is on page 734 as is Sarah Buckley). # 2 West Philadelphia 1850 roll 823 page 507 dwelling 98, family 111 Philadelphia, West Philadelphia, 1850 roll 823, page 507 dwelling 98, family 111 Samuel Morgan, 60, male, Innkeeper, b. England Nancy Morgan, 60, female, b. England Morton Buckley, 20, male, no occupation, b. England Michael McCready, 62, male, no occupation, b. Ireland Bridget Beular, 36, female, b. Ireland P. S. I was wondering if Samuel and Nancy Morgan were really Samuel and Nancy Morton and the census taker just made a mistake. That would probably make them Morton's grandparents if so. > Hello List: Still trying to locate Marshall Morton, Sr. before he is found in > census and have had no luck.
