Thank you Claire. Just yesterday, I found the Chester Times online and have more death dates. You are right they are buried in Holy Cross in Yeadon. I did not find anything on Mary Jane Donlin who is my great aunt but I am trying a round about way through the other Donlins in hopes of finding her.

But first you need to know at least a year of death, and it looks like you only have one, for Eugene Cooney. HTH Claire K.

Hi Cheryl, Not sure from your note, so just in case... Did you contact Holy Cross for the list of burials in the grave? (Or at least the section, range, and lot, so you can contact the Catholic Cemeteries Office in Philadelphia to get the names/dates of burial of everyone else in the grave?) Or do you just have whatever obits you found? Sounds like you have at least some obits, none mentioning your elusive Mary Jane (naturally, she's hiding). If you don't have the grave listing(s) from Holy Cross or CCO, it's worth trying in case there's a stray family member or two you haven't already found in obits. Good luck! Claire K.
