Can someone please explained this reason why a immigrant was being detained when the ship came into Philadelphia? My great-grandfather was suppose to go to Boston. The ship docked at the Philadelphia port. He decided to get off in Philadelphia instead. But the Immigrant Inspector detained him and another fellow who were both 19 or 20 for the following reason Detained as "being persons likely to become a public charge". Needless to say, the Captain let them escape and the Captain was charged and held for violating the Unite States Immigrant laws at the time. He later had to pay a fine.

It's hard to say exactly where 6 North 9th St. was in 1830 but it was probably in the North Ward. It certainly was not in the Upper Delaware Ward. The western border of that ward was 7th St. Gene Stackhouse "24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence?

Several years ago one of my cousins had an extraordinary bit of luck and discovered the name of the orphanage his gm came from - she had gone to Oklahoma on an orphan train. The orphanage had the original records including parent's names and was not at all cooperative. He hired an attorney who got a local judge to ordered the records to be released for 'family medical history purposes'.

I have for years been trying to figure out who my great-great grandmother's parents were. I have been looking at census records and trying to figure whether there is any possibility that we could identify a district in the Philadelphia census with a street name. I believe that my great-great grandfather, Addison Bean, who married Mary Ann OWEN (b. May 1817) in May 1837, was a boarder in her mother's boarding house while he was in medical school. The boarding house in 1835 was located at 6 North 9th Street. In the 1830 census, I find an Ann OWEN and a John OWEN both listed with a female resident about the right age (under 15) in Upper Delaware Ward. Can anyone tell me what ward 6 North 9th St. would have been in, in 1830? Jim Blain

Folks... The postings listed below are really and truly great. Many list surnames, and offer to do lookups for those interested, and these are not to be belittled. But the listing of one and all is truly great. It takes into account that some in the future, who are not listers, may, as a result, have the opportunity to find their family, too.

I've seen undertaker records at GSP, HSP, and at my local FHC. A quick search on www.familysearch.org on "undertakers philadelphia" brings up several results. A search on www.hsp.org using the OPAC brings up a lots of results as well; Frankenfield is listed at HSP though I didn't check the dates.

Dredden, age 63, died 09 May 1909. She was born in Delaware to John H. JONES and Amelia PRATIS, both born in Delaware as well. Resource: Kirk & Nice Undertaker Records. I'd suggest following up on this using Rootsweb lists for Delaware. With these names added to Mary A.'s, does anyone else connect to this family?
