I found Richard in the 1870 Census with his family - Elizabeth is 72 yrs. old, Ann is 42 and Dorcas is 32. Dorcas Adair, a domestic servant, is 18 and living with them.

Seeking information please from perhaps the 1840, 1850 or 1860 Philadelphia census for Ann Porter Young, probably born about 1900, emigrated from Ireland, married Josiah Edwards, had one son, Jeremiah Edwards. Ann's parents did not emigrate to America. Ann's date of emigration to America has not been found. Ann alone, or Ann and her husband, or the couple and their son, removed to Findley, Ohio, but when that move occurred is also not known. Ann's sister Sarah Young also emigrated from Ireland, date unknown. Sarah reportedly married a Gilfillan, date unknown, no known children. Ann and Sarah also had two brothers, Alexander Young (distiller) and Richard, both or whom remained in Philadelphia but the sisters Ann and Sarah are not known to have resided with their brothers. Richard married in Ireland (Dorcas Adair or Elizabeth ______) before their emigration to America; they had three daughters, Ann, Dorcas and Sarah. Records were found in the 1860 Philadelphia census for Richard, Richard's wife, Elizabeth, and daughters Ann and Dorcas, but nothing for Sarah Young who is said to have married Robert Rule and have left descendants. Sarah Young may have married Robert Rule before 1860. Thanks for any assistance.

Please if some one will do a lookup in 1850 Phila for Thomas Carroll I have him in 1840 Moyamensing township age 50 b. Ireland. I think he died some time between 1850-1860? thanks for any help.

Here is a good site. It is a manuel of all the city councils for Philadelphia city for the calender year 1898-1899. It looks like as if that anybody that worked for the city of Philadelphia during this time is listed. It gives their names,Title, and saleries etc. It also lists the boundries for the wards and I think I saw districts mentioned. It also mentions fees for permits. In fact it was a $5 fine to open a fire hydrant without permission. Really an insight as to what was going on with the city Government at that time. I copied and pasted the site so it should work PS the one name that stood out was a John Stackhouse, maybe related to Gene? Bill Pallatt http://www.archive.org/stream/manualofcitycoun00phil/manualofcitycoun00phil_djvu.txt

Here's the official scoop from the Methodist archivist at St. George's... He [Frank E. Graeff] is listed as living at 3010 N. 5th St in 1915, assigned to the Fairhill Church, and he was still at that church at the time of the 1916 Conference. Thanks to all who replied.
