Looking across the years from 1880 to 1930, I can find nothing definitive. More corroborating info is needed. Any idea of names of children? I find several Mary/Margaret Foster in 1880; no way to tell which is right. I find many Mary/Margaret/Margery Rankin in 1930; again, no way to tell which is right. It is obvious that Samuel Rankin is not alive in 1930. In any case, I do not find any trace in Chester Co. or, in later years, in Upper Darby, Del. Co. Names of one or more of their children would be most helpful. -----Original Message----- From: kch423@adelphia.net [mailto:kch423@adelphia.net] Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 12:12 AM To: PA-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PACEN] 1890-1940, Chester Co, Pa, Rankin and Foster I found this in 1900 Chester Co, Willistown Twp FOSTER, Mary C, servant, Apr 1874, 26, S, b.
