I have an address (2143 N Front St) and a photo from maybe 100 years ago of a relative (we think) standing outside a shop that he owned. Is there any resource that I could use to confirm the existence of the shop and the owner? Gopsill's? Thanks. best, Paul Carr

Laaurie -- are you able to look up the names Nagle, Maier and Yaeger in the 1883 Gopsill's Philadelphia City Directory? If so, I would be extremely grateful. Thanks so much if you can do this.

Hello Regina, I am not the one who requested help, but I just had to post and say WOW!! Mary McCanney Finley ----- Original Message ----- From: "Regina Nau" <reginanau@msn.com> To: <PAPHILAD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, May 06, 2006 8:25 PM Subject: Re: [PAPHL] Help to find family in 1880 census, please > Hi Lorraine, > > I found them! They are in Baltimore Maryland, District 2 as follows: >

I've been working my RILEY-MCCABE line, and it leads back to Philly. My g-g-g-grandfather William MCCABE married Annie RILEY in Chester, Delaware County, PA. William is the son of Benjamin MCCABE and his wife Jennie (who I believe is also Mary Jane). I can place the McCabe's in Philadelphia in 1870, but would appreciate help/advice in (1) locating this McCabe family in 1860 and (2) making a connection between McCabe and Farren (spelled Farron on the census). I believe Jennie may be a Farren/on, but so far have not located a marriage for her and Benjamin in Philadelphia, nor have I found a birth record for their older children in Philadelphia. I've not yet looked into Farron births as I first need to confirm a connection. Here's what I've got using census (I also have other records, but that would make this entirely too long and it's long enough!). In 1930, Mary J. McCabe, age 86, widowed, born in PA, is living in Chester, Delaware County; in 1920, Mary Jane McCabe, age 74, widowed, born in PA, is living in Chester; in 1910, Jennie McCabe, age 63, widowed, born in PA, is head of the household in Chester; in 1900, Jane McCabe, age 53, widowed, born in PA, is head of the household in Chester. In 1880, Benjamin MCCABE, age 42, bricklayer, born in PA is married to Jennie, age 36, born in PA with children Benjamin, William, Mary, Genevieve, Thomas, Lewis, Agnes; and with mother Mary McCabe age 76 born in Ireland. The above is why I believe "my" Jennie is actually Mary Jane with the nickname of Jennie. Now for the Philly connection and possible McCabe-Farron(en) connection... 1870: Dwelling 914, South 19th St., 9th Precinct, 26th Ward, Philadelphia: This is where I'd been overlooking some clues that I am now following up on. MCCABE Benj., 30; Jennie 25; Benj. Jr. 4; Willie 2; Francis 1; MCCLUNG Kate 20; Thomas 4; DRAIN Patrick 65; Catherine 60; Hugh 30; Cathrine 20; Isabella 15; FARRAN Thomas 20. This is the 2nd enumeration; I only yesterday located the 1st enum which gives slightly different information: no DRAIN family members in the household as they actually live next door, and ages are different but only slightly. In following up on 1870, I find in Philadelphia in 1860 the Farron family: Thomas, age 46, born Ire, coal dealer; Mary, age 33, born Ire; children Patrick, age 14, born in Phila.; William, age 11, born in Phila.; Mary Jane, age 6, born in Philadelphia; Catherine, age 4, born in Phila.; Thomas, age 1, born in Phila. I believe that Mary Jane FARRON may have married Benjamin MCCABE, but have not yet been able to confirm it or to find McCabes prior to 1870 or Farrons other than Patrick after 1870. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!!

I find a William and Mary McLaughlin in 1880 with a 2-year-old son...but in Maryland.

Hi Lorraine, I found them!

When I have problems finding someone on Ancestry, I use Soundex instead of Exact and see what comes up. Gives so many more names and certainly MCLaughlin could have been misspelled.

Hello I can't seem to find the family of William and Mary McLaughlin in the 1880 census. I have found them in the 1900, 1910 and 1920 census. They were married in 1876 and had at least one son by 1880, James, who would have been about 2. William was born about 1850 in Philadelphia and Mary was born 1854-1858 in Ireland. William was a cooper. They were married in St. Patricks at 242 S 20th St. and lived at 1524 S Dorrance St in 1900 and at 1732 S 18th St in 1910 and 1920. I have tried to find them using Ancestry.com employing various spellings of their name but no luck. I suspect a typo in the index (at least I hope that is the reason) Since the 1880 census isn't available in Heritage Quest I'm stumped. I've checked the Dorrance St. Address (ED 559) in 1880 and will go page by page. Just hoping someone may have a better index to save my sanity.

McKean Street, not Court, is in South Philadelphia. It runs from the Delaware to the Schuylkill. Philadelphia Research

Helene: According to McElroy's 1839 Philadelphia Directory, McKean Court ran South from 4 Locust. I can only assume that means 4th and Locust since no other explanation is given. That would be in the vicinity of Washington Square on the West, 3 or 4 blocks from the Delaware River Waterfront on the East, and about 8 short blocks (1/2 mile) south of High Street (Market Street.) Definitely, old Philadelphia.
