Does anyone know if this village still exists and where it is located? Thanks.

Good morning lists, A lady by the name of Kathie has done a survey of the Stonybank Cemetery. We all know how difficult it is to read gravestones! Well, she has partial names, dates, etc., & other info from some of the stones but I though if anyone out there has some family member(s) buried there they could come forward with their info & share it with Kathie & help complete her project. Kathie has done a very fine job on this project & she also has taken pictures! All this info will soon be posted at PAGenWeb. Thank you in advance for any help you can give Kathie. :) Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as Aunt Annie CLARK which was taken at the Wm. Snell Studio in Chester, Pennsylvania. The photograph is dated 11 Feb 1871 with Annie appearing to be in her 40's or 50's at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to find a possible match in the 1880 census of Darby, PA as follows: Peter CLARK, age 39, born MD, a Railroad Supervisor, parents born Ireland Ellen CLARK, wife, age 38, born Ireland, Keeping House, parents born Ireland Annie CLARK, dau, age 13, born MD, at School Steven CLARK, son, age 10, born MD, at School Celia CLARK, dau, age 9, born PA, at School Joseph CLARK, son, age 7, born PA, at School Eddie CLARK, son, age 6, born PA, at School Willie CLARK, son, age 4, born PA Ann CLARK, Mother, age 63, born Ireland, Assisting in House, parents born Ireland I'm hoping to locate someone from her family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this CLARK Family, or if you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Hi All: There was also Crucible Steel in either Lansdowne or Upper Darby. It was on South of Baltimore Ave on S. Union Ave. The area around it (Nyack Ave/Wycombe Ave) was known at "Tin Town" and seemed to be mostly Irish and Italians. Priscilla Researching Wyatt (Clifton Heights/Primos) Stevenson, Nelson.

Hi Shelley, Have you posted this info, regarding the picture of Bertha (Buckwalter) BRADFORD on the surname list for both of her surnames. You just might get more of a response. You have: 1910 census of Chester, PA -- do you mean the "City of Chester" or "Chester Co."? Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

WOW! I can't begin to thank everyone enough for the interest and responses to my query! Helen, thank you for that "cruise" up the Delaware River and the businesses. I also keeping looking for and hoping to find a living direct tail male descendent from this EYRE line (Robert EYRE & Ann SMITH late 1600s Bethel twp). I've found several wonderful, sharing, female descendents, but no living males. *sigh*

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Bertha BUCKWALTER which was taken at the Pannebecker Photo Studio in Columbia, Pennsylvania. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with Bertha likely in her teens at the time it was taken. In addition to her name, someone has also written "afterwards Mrs. Wilmer BRADFORD" on the back of the photograph suggesting that she married Wilmer BRADFORD. Based on limited research I was able to locate the family in census records as follows: 1880 census of Upper Leacock, PA: Abraham BUCKWALTER, age 59, born PA, a Farmer, parents born PA Eliza BUCKWALTER, wife, age 34, born PA, Keeping House, parents born PA Elem BUCKWALTER, son, age 7, born PA Bertha BUCKWALTER, dau, age 3, born PA Abraham BUCKWALTER, son, age 1, born PA Reuben BUCKWALTER, son, age 8 months, born PA 1910 census of Chester, PA: Wilmer BRADFORD, age 35, married 1 year, born PA, parents born PA, a Steel Foundry Carpenter Bertha B. BRADFORD, wife, age 34, married 1 year, 1 child/none living, born PA, parents born PA I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of her family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
