Does anyone have access to the Phila 1897-98 directories? I am looking for Annie Leary who was living at 1736 N. 9th St. when she died in Sep. 1898 and want to know who else might have been living there with her. Thank you. Elaine Sacramento CA

Jack O'Brien's lastname was Hagan. His parents came to Philadelphia from the Draperstown area of County Derry. He is supposed to be related to my Hagan's.

Mary Ann, I appreciate your looking up that obituary for me but I don't think that is my Mary Dooley. I am looking for Mary Dooley who died in Woodlyn PA., November 1993. On of these women died in 1977, the other 1993. Maybe the SSD Index was transcribed wrong. Thank you for your help.

OK, here is another Philadelphia boxer who went by the name of Kid McNichols. He "had a promising career in the lightweight division" so probably not too well known. It probably would have been ca 1885-1900. I did not find anything googling this name. Thanks. Elaine

Cheryl: Have you considered the likely possibility that Mary married between 1910 and 1920? She is certainly the right age. I see three possible Donlin marriages around 1920 in the online Philadelphia marriage index ( http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=home -- browse to the index in the US collection). However, you would also need to consider possible marriage in Delaware or Chester counties as well.

According to St. Stephen's history, the original little church was too small and badly in need of repairs. The cemetery was by that church. The new church was built at the corner of Broad and Butler. Eventually, the site of the old church and cemetery on Lycoming St. fell into disrepair. The cemetery was an active burial site for fewer than 50 years. My note....consider that New Cathedral was only a mile away. Yes, you have the right address It is 1427 Lycoming St. ----- Original Message ----- From: <jaego2@aol.com> To: <paphilad@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2010 3:44 PM Subject: Re: [PAPhl] St. Stephen Catholic Cemetery > When I look at a Google Map of Lycoming and Elser I can see a little > fenced lot, but no markers.
