I wouldn't worry about it stating the father was born in PA, that's common, not PA, but, putting the wrong place down. The only thing that doesn't make sense is Rachel's father being John since in 1880, Emma's listed as a Widow, that makes it nearly impossible for her to be a widow as of June 10, 1880 and bearing a child from John in Nov. of 1881! But, at the same time, since we know that John Jr., was 5 months in 1880, making him born Jan. 1880, in the 1880 census, yet they say Jan. 1881 in the 1900 census, it's possible that Rachel is Nov., 1880, not 1881. If you do the math, 9 months back from Nov., is Feb. So, looking at it that way, and we all know census facts can be a bit off, that would make John's death sometime between Feb. and June 10, 1880. 1900 NJ, Camden Graham, George, Head, W, M, 2/1871, 29, M, 2yrs., PA, PA, PA, Coal Dealer Lucy, Wife, W, F, 10/1867, 32, M, 2yrs., 1/1, NJ, NJ, NJ Edith, Dau., W, F, 10/1899, 8 months, S, NJ, PA, NJ 1910 NJ, Camden: Graham, George W., Head, W, M, 39, M1, 11yrs., PA, US, PA, Driver, Coal Lucie, Wife, W, F, 43, M1, 11yrs., 3/3, NJ, NJ, NJ Edith, Dau., W, F, 10, S, NJ, PA, NJ George W., Son, W, M, 7, S, NJ, PA, NJ Edgar, Son, W, M, 2, S, NJ, PA, NJ 1920 Camden: No additional children, all children still single and living at home, George Sr., is now a manager at a Coal and Ice Co., Edith is a Stenographer in an office, George Jr., is unemployed and Edgar is a Clerk in an unreadable office. 1930 Camden: George Sr., Lucie, and Edgar, still reside together, it's hard to see, George is doing something with Coal, and Edgar is a Bookkeeper in a Bank. 1930, PA, Philadelphia: Graham, George, Head, W, M, 27, NJ, PA, NJ, Chiropractor, Non parctice Edna, Wife, W, F, NJ, PA, PA 1900 NJ, Camden - 3 houses from George: Graham, Joseph, Head, W, M, Apr 1862, 38, M, 2yrs., PA, PA, PA, Coal Dealer Kate, Wife, W, F, 1 or 6/1877, 23, M, 2 yrs., 0/0, NJ, Ger, Ger Cl?????, Dau., W, F, 4/1886, 14, S, NJ, PA, NJ Joseph, Son, W, M, ?/1894, 6, S, NJ, PA, NJ Seems Joseph was married prior to Kate as 0/0 means she had had no children herself by 1900. I cannot make out the daugther's name, it might not even be Cl as the first two letters. 1910 NJ, Camden: Joseph is in Coal and Ice, Yard, eldest daughter is not living with them, Joseph J., is and is unemployed, and they now have a daughter, Ruth, b. it looks like maybe 11/1909, this census was taken in April of 1910 and Ruth is listed as 5 months old. This is the only child Kate has given birth to in the last 10 years. 1920 NJ, Camden: Graham, Jos. W., Head, W, M, 56, M, PA, Scotland, PA, Dealer, Coal Kate, Wife, W, F, 42, NJ, Ger., Ger.
