Mary, Have you tried to find the marriage application at the Marriage License Bureau in the City/County building on Grant Street? Have you looked for them in the 1920, 1910, 1900 and 1880 censuses (in that order)? Have you obtained the PA state Death certificates for those who died after 1906? Have you looked for the newspaper obituaries? All these sources will give you a bit more information and start to quilt a picture of the family as a whole.
