Hello: I am looking for information on the following family group found in the 1880 census for Norristown; Head of Household THOMAS HOFFMAN, 42, born in PA, Parents born in PA MARGARET HOFFMAN 43, born in Pa Parents b. in PA, His wife CATHARIN HOFFMAN 14 Mother b. in Delaware, Daughter EUPHAMA HOFFMAN 12 both parents b. in PA b., Daughter EMLEY HOFFMAN 4 both parents born in Pa, daughter MARY E. WILSON 19, father b. in England, mother in PA, other (relationship) EDWIN B. WILSON 17 father in England, mother in Pa, other FLORANCE WILSON 13 " " " Does anyone know this family?? My questions; 1. Was Margaret Thomas's first wife? As his eldest dau.'s mother's birthplace is listed as Delaware, Margaret was b. in PA and the younger Hoffman children's mother's birthplace is listed as PA. I am assuming only the younger Hoffman children were Margaret's (if the census is correct). 2. Was this Margaret's first marriage?? Edwin Wilson in the 1920 census with his wife and children and Margaret Hoffman (84) she is listed as his mother. My thought, Mary, Edwin and Florance were children of Margaret from a previous marriage. Of course I could be dead wrong, but in the absence of other records, I am just "guessing". 3. What was Margaret Hoffman's maiden name? The 1880 census records are from the LDS files....the 1920 census from a kind soul who sent me info from Anscestry's data base. The only other info on this family I have is, Edwin in 1920 was working in a machine shop, he had married Nettie (Jeanette O'Neill, b. in PA) about 1893 in Montgomery Co. PA., they had, William Jul 1893, Elwood 1897, John 1899 and Edwin (Edward) 1903. A daughter Margaret died in infancy. The Hoffman's resided in Norristown. Any help would be appreciated. Peggie Shaw
