When I wrote that query yesterday I had just returned from the FHC in Broomall where I had searched the film of the Philadelphia Marriage Register, again with no luck. I had previously searched in the Philly archives and in City Hall. Of course they could have been married elsewhere but they both lived in the city and her children by a previous marriage were buried here at Woodmont Cemetery. I doubt if they eloped to Elkton! Ergo, I have run out of ideas. Thanks anyway! Craig Craig, May I make another suggestion: maybe they eloped to Wilmington, DE or Mannasses VA?? Kate
