Sometimes disownment came quickly, especially if the Friend decided that he or she was no longer interested in membership in the Society of Friends. In other cases, months, even years, could go by before the matter was settled. If the Friend made acknowledgment, he or she was continue in membership. If acknowledgement was not made, the individual was disowned (not the same thing as being shunned) but always had the right to appeal the decision. Disowned Friends could still attend meeting for worship and be buried in their meeting's burial ground, but they were not entitled to financial or spiritual support from the Monthly Meeting and were not permitted to participate in decision making within the Monthly Meeting. Some disowned Friends made acknowledgement years after the marriage, sometimes after the spouse died. Always check through the records to see if a once-disowned Friend was later reinstated.

In responce to Mary Jefferson, Old Swedes Church is in Wilmington, Delaware, now called Trinity Church, I believe. They have a website. The church was originated by the Swedes in the 17th century, but many denominations married there. Marriage records are available, but a bit steep in price. I have a Quaker ancestor recorded married there in 1731, who was promptly disowned by the Friends. As far as what religion they would be, where they came from would probably give you a clue.

I am looking for information on a school which was located at 4904 Woodland Ave. I got this address from an Upper Darby Year book 1939 address under the picture. I have no idea what type of "school" this was (reform school, detention center or...) I know it was in operation until the 60's. I went to a reunion or fair that was held there early 60's, it may have been late 50's. They had a dairy, I don't know if it was connected to WaWa Dairies or if they sold milk to WaWa. The students who stayed at this location went to Upper Darby High School. A Ms. Morrison was one of the "over seer's" of this school. I would like to know if there are records for this school and more information on the type of school. I apologize to those receiving this post more than once. Thanks Barbara in Louisiana email: [email protected]

TGIF, huh Lister's? I hope everyone is having a wonderful day, try to savor the wonderful wheather this fine November 15th! Amazing. I just came back from the DCCourt House looking for my ancestor's under the Wills and Marriages microfiche. Nothing, absolutley Nothing!!!!!! Where are these people? This brick wall you could expect if I didn't live in the area, but they lived and breathed right here in Middletown, Edgmont, Media and Nether Providence and I still can't find them. What's my problem. I've searched all kinds of records on Ancestor.com and I can only find them on the census, but I haven't found anything at the Delaware County Historical Center or anywhere else. The only thing I haven't searched is the Quaker Records,except what I have seen with the Asmead Records. I even backed it up a few generations and tried to find my great grandfather and his wife from 1907-1910 marriage when I went to the courthouse, which is more recent and still couldn't find anything. I'm on Baker and Sharp subscription lists and still nothing,Help! If my Daniel Baker and his wife Tamar/Tamor Sharp,who were married in 1857 lived here in Middletown as of the 1880 census with mother-inlaw, where did they go? The info I have below is all I have to go on, can anyone suggest another trick to poke these member's out of their secrete hiding place? Esther December 30, 1857 DELAWARE COUNTY AMERICAN Marriage: On the 19th inst., at the Parsonage of the M.E. Church, West Chester, by the Rev.

I am looking for assistance in searching the Naturalization Petitions located at the DELAWARE COUNTY COURT HOUSE (Front & Orange Streets, Media, PA). I would be very pleased to pay for a local researcher to go to the Court House and photocopy (if located) the relevant documents (Certificate of Arrival, Declaration of Intention and Petition of Naturalization) as I would like to have them sooner than it will take them to respond by mail. Please e-mail me directly and we can discuss names and dates. Best Regards, Nancy Atkinson [email protected]

Thanks for your help everyone. You've given me a couple of leads to follow up on for cemeteries. Now for another question. James and Rose (Kearns) Pyott were married in 1772 in Old Swede's Church in Philadelphia. (After that they are recorded as living in Upper Darby.) What religion would they be? I've looked the church up on various websites, but can't put my finger on it. Then I read that sometimes Quakers who were marrying outside the fold would get married in that church, but I can't find any record of either of them in the Quaker records. Thanks, Mary
Just to mess you up further!!! First I thought you should look at Chester Co. But then I remembered that my Gt Gt grandfather died in 1804, having lived in Upper Darby, and he is buried in Blockley Baptist Church Cem in now Philadelphia! It was just across the line from Upper Darby! And I only know that he was buried there because a genealogist was walking down the street years ago and saw workmen loading tombstones on a truck from a cemetery. He asked what they were doing and got permission to copy a lot of the names and dates before they got hauled away and the cemetery became a parking lot or something! My John Tyson, his wife and his daughter were recorded. Praise the Lord.

I believe the Fernwood Cemetery is also a good bet for individuals living in Upper Darby. If you have not already done so, check this website which lists Philadelphia Area cemeteries. <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/8088/cem.html">http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/8088/cem.html</A> Karen in PA
Hi Mary, Have you tried the following library? UPPER DARBY SELLERS LIBRARY 76 S. State Street Upper Darby, PA 19082 Genealogical collection (books & maps) Have you found the PYOTT Family in the Federal Census Records in 1830 & before? Are they living in the Upper Darby area? In the past, I have found many family genealogist looking to find where their family members from Upper Darby are buried -- most often it is in the Philadelphia area or other surrounding counties. The following society should be of some help to you: The Historical Society of Pennsylvania (HSP) (215) 732-6200 <A HREF="http://www.hsp.org/">PA Historical Society of Pennsylvania</A> http://www.hsp.org/ The Genealogical Society Of Pennsylvania (GSP) (215) 545-0391 <A HREF="http://www.libertynet.org/~gspa/">PA Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania</A> http://www.libertynet.org/~gspa/ Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) In a message dated 11/16/2 1:37:38 AM, [email protected] writes: << Several months ago, when I was in town, I went to the Delaware County Historical society to try to find some information.

Thanks so much to everyone who responded to my query about the rolling steel mill. SKS sent me this link below that is quite informative regarding locations of mills in PA. Hope someone can use this! http://paironworks.virtualave.net/indexpa.html
If I'm not mistaken, rolling steel is "sheet" steel that is produced in huge "rolls", hence the name.

More likely a generic term rather than a specific mill. A steel rolling mill heats and flattens ingots into coils of flat steel of desired thickness (gauge). John E.
