Another possibility is Elkton, Maryland, where a number of couples married, and I understand there was a place somewhere around 63rd or 64th st (actually in Delaware County) where people got married too.

Elizabeth. I think the place was called Yerkes. I think he was a judge who performed the services.

Yerkes is still in business. We were married there in 1970.   ----- Original Message ---- From: Regina <reginanau@msn.com> To: "paphilad@rootsweb.com" <paphilad@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thu, August 5, 2010 6:33:23 PM Subject: Re: [PAPhl] A Marriage Question - Houseal/Myers Elizabeth.  I think the place was called Yerkes.  I think he was a  judge who performed the services.  This would have been in Upper Darby

Thanks to everyone for your help on my Houseal/Myers marriage issue. I just received their marriage certificate from New Jersey! I never would have thought to go there if it hadn't been for some of you finding Rev. Lyon in New Jersey. The cert has both of their mothers' maiden names, so it finally proves connections that were only conjecture before. Thanks, thanks, thanks! Helene

I missed this thread. Dawson Yerkes was a Justice of Peace who married lot of West End Phila. couples. He was in Millbourne, a tiny borough just east of 69th St. in Upper Darby. The subway-el had/has a stop at Millbourne and then onto 69th St. Terminal. I remember it well!
