Marian There is only one death certificate for Bridget Owens (using familysearch.org), the "Return of Death in the Philadelphia Hospital". The other document is a weekly report of deaths at the Almshouse, likely Blockley Almshouse, co-located with the Philadelphia Hospital in West Philadelphia near present-day University of Pennsylvania. The article below provides some background. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockley_Almshouse The almshouse report of deaths includes a signature notation ("per Evans") and I note that the Resident Physician on the "Return of Death" is listed as E. Matlack (or Matlock ?). I wonder if they are one and the same. Was 2307 Franklin Street a residence associated with the Owens family? It may have been her former (or formal) residence.

Anyone have an ideas where Almshouse would be and if they would have any information on Bridget. Thanks, looking for any way to go from here. Marian in Virginia Beach
