What I would like to ask is if anyone on this list is in Philadelphia and can do a random act of kindness to look up a marriage and/or birth record for Catherine. Her death cert has a middle initial on it of C. But I don't know what the name might be and I have no other documentation that has a middle initial on it. She married a man named Michael Brady but I have no idea when. I believe Catherine was still single in 1880 at the age of 20 living with another family as a border and servant for them. If anyone could look this up for me, I would be very grateful. Thanks Sharon In a message dated 12/1/2010 8:55:44 P.M.

Although marriage records at this date in Philadelphia don't show parents' info, there's always a chance that she married while a minor and so might have had a parental consent form. And, of course, there's the relevant church records -- baptism and marriage. Any of the above might show the mother's name. HTH Claire K.
