Hello all, I went through the Southwark District of Philadelphia, PA in the 1850, as well as other districts) and I highlighted families that are either connected or might be connected to my own family. I am listing those families here to see if any of you out there might have a connection and have some information to add or confirm possible relationships. I do have some information on some families and I am more than willing to share. If the page number is at the top of the cenus page image I will include it with the names. If not then I will list the "Dwelling-house numbered in the order or visitation" which is the 1st column on the left hand side of the actual image itself. All poeple living in the same household are grouped together with a space or 2 seperating each household. Also...I am taking the best guess that I can on some information here because it is hard to read. I will place a question mark directly after the information that I guess on just incase I'm wrong. Hey...we're not all perfect. Here we go... 1st Ward Southwark District Page 15b and 16 Precilla SPARKS age 48 born in NJ Martha age 19 born in PA Manuel age 17 ship carpenter born in PA Dennis CASEY age 24 oak cooper born in PA Rebecca VANCE age 52(?) born in Delaware Rachael MURPHY age 52(?) born in NJ Mary INNES age 22 born in PA Jacob POWELL age 49 blacksmith born in NJ Elizabeth age 47 born in PA Rhoda Ann age 16 born in PA Elizabeth age 4 born in PA Charles age 1 born in PA Aaron age 24 sail maker born in PA Christian BAUMEISTER age 43 dealer born in Germany Mary age 39 born in Germany Hannah age 13 born in Germany Caroline age 11 born in Germany Christian age 9 born in Germany ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- dwelling # 326 Thomas SPARKS age 25 ship carpenter born in NJ Ann age 22 born in PA John age 1 born in PA ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 44 Eliza CLARK age 49 born in NJ Elinor age 24 store keeper born in NJ Catherine DUFFIELD age 48 born in NJ Lydia HENDRICKSON age 44 born in NJ Hannah RAMBO age 18 born in PA Lydia HAY or KAY age 6 born in NJ Judith(?)
