To my request for 1511 N 54th st, Ward and ED. I found the house in 1920, Ward 44 ED 1665 ancestry image 5. Thank you, Jane

Can someone help with the 1920 census ED of Ward 34 for: 1511 N. 54th st. I am close with ED 1170/1171/1172. I am looking for who is at this house, not a particular surname. Thank you, Jane

Does anyone remember the Cosgrove family from West Phila.? We lived at 52nd and Jefferson St. St. Gregory's Parish from 1941 to 1963. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Thanks Gene. Guess I'll have to make that trip to City Hall. Will make a day of it and search for wills at the same time. I picture you laughing at this newbie who thinks all can be accomplished in one day. Elayne ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

The deed office in City Hall, Philadelphia, has deeds back to the beginning of Pennsylvania, as does the deed office in Doylestown, Bucks Co., and West Chester, Chester Co. These are the three original counties of Pennsylvania. Gene Stackhouse "24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence?

It had never occured to me until recently that it might be possible to acquire deeds for family properties. In Phila where should I go? Secondly does anyone know how far back these deeds go. I'm hoping to find deeds from about 1735 to the 1920's. Thanks for any and all help. Elayne ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Would anyone be visiting Mount Moriah and be able to look up any one of the following please? Thomas J. CROUT, died 29 Jan 1888 in Montgomery Co, buried MM Margaret W. Crout, died Feb 04 1890, buried MM Oliver CROUT, buried 20 Nov 1891 MM John H. CROUT, buried 09 Jan 1899 MM Thomas G. or J. CROUT, died Jun 1916 in Cheyney, buried MM John A. CROUT, died Feb 1918, buried MM I'm hoping that learning more of the burial will help to sort out who is buried with who and better establish their relationships; the Johns and Thomas's are particularly confusing. On a related note, does anyone know what the records are like that HSP has? Are they indexed, in chronological order, in alphabetical order? I'm planning to use them and would it helpful to have an idea what to expect. Thanks! --------------------------------- Don't get soaked. Take a quick peek at the forecast with theYahoo!

The fee at the HSP is $30 or $40 per hour. In the past, there was one person who either worked for or volunteered for the GSP who researched both there and at the HSP. I don't know if they still offer that service, but it wasn't cheap and it wasn't fast. You might want to ask on the Mt. Moriah list if there is anyone who can do this for you. -----Original Message----- From: Kychambers@aol.com To: philly-roots@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, 8 Apr 2007 5:17 PM Subject: Re: [Phly-Rts] Mt.

Here's the link to the research by mail cost page for HSP. http://www.hsp.org/default.aspx?id=187 As I understood it last, GSP did not do research for people but rather referred out to local genealogists. jo -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.

Searching for info on the parents of Oliver Wright, born 1838 in Northern Ireland, immigrated abt 1852, and died after 1910. He was a drayman. He lived in Philadelphia for the rest of his life on York St and East Dauphin St and Quigg's Court (Fishtown). His mother may have been Lucy. His wife was Martha Stenson(Steenson, Stinson)from PA. His children were William, John, Lucinda, Anna, Martha, Oliver Jr, James & Joseph. They were Protestant. I cannot find where he entered the US, it may not have been Philadelphia. He was working in the Richmond area in 1860, and that is the first place I find him in Philadelphia. Then they lived in Fishtown.My elderly mother remembers exactly where their residence was located since Oliver's son, William still lived in the area (on Albert St, between Thompson & Edgemont)and she would go to visit when she was young. Most of the family is buried in North Cedar Hill but not Oliver. There is a Philly family with some of the same names and dates who came from Canada but are not the correct Wright family. Any help on Oliver's parents would be appreciated and I would be glad to share info on his many descendants. This man is one of my brick walls! Sandy researching in PA: WRIGHT, WALDRON, BIRNEY

Jane besides Mt Moriah's web site there is a group here at roots web for Mt Moriah. Haven't seen a post from them recently but if you check their archives you'll see the frustration in obtaining any info from the cemetery office.

Thank you to those who responded to a possible visit to Mount Moriah and a look up of Mary Foxhill Lex. A reseacher had the information of Lot 10 Sec. 27. This is with my great grandparents. Only stones in the Lot are in a huddle in a corner. Thank you again, Jane

There is a mailing list for Mt. Moriah.

Charles D. CROUT was b. c1824 in Germantown and died 1884 in Philadelphia, buried in West Laurel Hill. Wife was Sarah (nee unknown), possibly a first wife named Mary. I cannot locate Charles in the 1850 census. In 1860 through 1880, he is residing in Philadelphia; in 1870 his last name is Krout in one of the enumerations and I can't find the other one (I think I have just the 2nd enum). I do wonder if I have the correct Charles in 1860, since he is a shoemaker in 1860 and a policeman in 1862--seems a big change to me. The reason I think he possibly had a 1st wife (though it just didn't fit with the 1860 census) is that there is a Mary & Charles CROUT who had a daughter Emma on 31 Mar 1862, and then Charles & Sarah had a son Joseph B on 31 May 1863. Charles for each birth is a policeman; in 1862 in Ward 2 and in 1863 in Ward 1. --------------------------------- TV dinner still cooling? Check out "Tonight's Picks" on Yahoo! TV.

Will anyone be visiting Mt. Moriah in the next week or so. I have called four times to get the answer machine and have written with no response. If anyone is making the trip would you please stop in the office and ask for Mary's location. No need to go to the grave. MARY FOXHILL LEX died Dec. 2, 1920 and is buried in Mt. Moriah Mary is not listed in the burials on the MM web site. No response from them either! Thank you, Jane
