Hello all My Lancashire family liked to flit back and forth from England to the US, resulting in a few children being born in the Philadelphia area and others born in England. Most of my research has centered on the English, but an interesting death certificate has brought me to Philadelphia research. Harry BUSKEY (BUSKY), b. 4 Nov. 1890 Conshohocken, PA, married Hannah STEAD in 1924. It appears he had previously married Margaret E Wallace July 1912 in Delaware. On 20 December 1924, Harry BUSKEY died on the way to Episcopal Hospital, Philadelphia, as the result of "stab wounds of chest the hands of Sara STEAD." The death certificate is stamped "homicide" and signed by Robert J. Patton, coroner. A search of Ancestry has not revealed further information about Harry's death nor about the STEAD family. Of course, that doesn't mean the information isn't there, just that I'm no good at finding it. I'd be very interested to find any mention of the murder in newspaper articles, any information about the STEAD family, and what happened to Sarah STEAD (was Sarah actually Hannah?), and have no idea where to look. I'd be very grateful if someone would point me in the right direction. If this is too vague, please let me know what other information I should provide. Thanks in advance. Lynne

I am looking for a divorce record from Philadelphia somewhere between 1804 - 1825. Does anyone know where such records are held? How would I access them? Much appreciation in advance, Tim

This is a follow up to my previous request for information about marriage licences which you will see below. I have now found what appears to be the source of archived marriage records for Philadelphia at: http://secureprod.phila.gov/wills/marriagerecordinfo.aspx Before I send my request for a copy of the information they hold together with $35 I am hoping that that someone can give me some advice about this: Have I got the right website? Does anyone have any experience of making applications to City Hall for marriage records? Will the information they provide include a copy the application and of the license? Will either of these records show more than is given on the church register of names, addresses and date of marriage? In particular will the application and/or license show the status of the couple - spinster/bachelor, widow/widower, divorced and details of previous marriage.

It is cheaper to order the film containing the marriage license from Family history library and look at it at ur local family history library.

I am signed up to FamilySearch and I now see the index page on FamilySearch for the marriage I am interested in of Ebenezer Clarke and Elizabeth Clarke in Philadelphia in 1887 but I can't see how to view the actual record.

The marriage license doesn't appear to be online yet. You would need to write to Philadelphia to get a copy of it. Clare

David, I have ancestors that married in 1888. Their marriage application lists where the husband and wife were born, dates of birth, current residences, occupations, whether they are related by blood or marriage, and if either one was married before. If they were married before, then they were to give a reason as to why the former marriage was dissolved.

Claire, I'm not certain I understand…are you saying that you can see the actual marriage document or just the actual index record. If you mean you can obtain the marriage license document by clicking on something, can you tell us what that is. I thought once you obtained the marriage license number you have to order the record from City Hall or go to the archives to view the records. What am I missing?

Philadelphia has civil records of marriages from 1860. From 1885 (to 1951) the marriage indexes are on FamilySearch.com. Sign up / register for a free account on FamilySearch, and you'll be able to click through from the index transcript page to the image of the actual record. You can then download or print it for your files. At this time period, you will get name, age, occupation, address of bride and groom--but no info on parents unless one or both were minors and there's a parental consent form attached. So, good news: you can get it free online. Good luck! Hope that helps.

David, I know what you are asking. I don't know about Phila. PA but I know in Massachusetts, I asked for a copy of the papers my grandparents actually filled out to receive the license/certificate and I paid for and received a copy of them and it did give me a little more info than on the marriage license/certificate had on them.
