When John died Margery married Daniel Farrell in 1901. I have recently received Margery's obit from the Philadelphia Library. It is difficult to read, but Margery's residence was listed as 489? Devereaux Street in Philadelphia. The wake was held at her home and she was then buried in Holy Cross Cem.along with her deceased husband Daniel. The obit lists Margery as the mother of Sister M. Xaveria SSJ, who was my great aunt. Margery was also suppose to be the mother of my grandmother Regina Larkin O'Brien. Regina was not listed in the obit and I'm not sure why. Regina's death certificate lists Margery as her mother. I quess I'm surprised she was not listed since Regina did not die untill 1958. Margery's parents were Emanuel Mc Fadden and Mary McNulty from Plymouth Meeting. John Larkin and Margery McFadden Lived at 2816 N. 6th Street. John died March 20, 1891 at the age of 71. What I'm trying to learn who was in the household during census taking around the early 1900s through her death at the Devereaux address. Margery was reportedly in the real estate business as was her first husband John Larkin. So if someone could please see if she is listed in eary census documents I would greatly appreciate the help!! ********************************My answer: Listed as living at 1905 Elsworth St is: Margery LARKIN W F Oct 1860 39 yo Wd had 2 children 2 children alive Regina LARKIN W F NOV 1885 14 YO SINGLE Edith LARKIN W F SEPT 1889 10 YO SINGLE Catherine (?) McFadden relationship is unreadable W F Oct 10 44 yo Single Joseph " Brother W M Mar 18?? ??35 yo Single All born in Penna. Margery's parents b: Ireland (?) Catherine's occupation was Launderess Joseph's Carpet Weaver. ************************ I am not sure if the McFadden listed above's first name is Catherine, but it looks like it, it is not readable. Hope this helps. I could not find another listing in any census for her with any last name Kate

Just a couple of additions to what Kate sent: The entries on this census page are VERY difficult to read. On Ancestry, I needed to magnify the entry to 200%. Catherine is listed as "sister", with birth Oct 1858. Brother Joseph's birth date is Mar 1863. There appears to be another family living at the same "dwelling number" - William (looks like ROUCH??) born 1842 in PA.; parents born in PA; occupation is "Inspector C. House", with wife of 31 years, Margaret B. born Jan 1846 in PA; father born in Ireland, mother born in PA. Happy hunting!
