There are several Pruners in 1900 census but it is very difficult to find them in the 1880 records. I suspect that the name was changed or recorded differently in the 1880 and older records. There are no obvious hits for Bert Pruner, born about 1875-1877 in the 1880 census, with parents William and Sadie. Here is a close hit: 1880 Census, Philadelphia, PA, p. 42C Jackson Bruner, 25, Pa, PA, PA, Stevedore Elizabeth, 20, PA, Ger, Ger Albert, 4 Chas, 2 Robert, 9/12 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
