If someone who has access to Genealogy Bank would be so kind, I am looking for the following 2 Philadelphia deaths/obituaries: Henry Dettmar (or may be spelled Dittmer) - between 1920 and 1930. He may have been living at N. Thompson or N. 27th or possibly N. Marston at the time of his death. While in Philadelphia, he was a fireman at a power house. He moved from Chesapeake City, MD, sometime between 1880 and 1885. He is listed as a widow in the 1920 Philadelphia census. He may have been born November, 1845, in Germany. Caroline Dettmar (or may be spelled Dittmer) - his wife - between 1910 and 1920. She may have been living at N. Thompson or N. 27th or possibly N. Marston at the time of her death. She moved from Chesapeake City, MD, sometime between 1880 and 1885. She may have been born June, 1855, in Germany (specifically Prussia). Any help would be very much appreciated, as I have not been able to determine their dates of death nor the cemetery where they are buried, which I assume is in Philadelphia.

Hi Lynn I don't see listings for Henry or Caroline's deaths at genealogybank. In the Phila Death Certs 1803-1915 I see a death of their daughter Edna "Dutman" 5 May 1883. She died of Scarlatina and she was buried 7 May 1883 at Old Cathedral Cemetery age 4 yrs, 8 mos. Parents listed as Henry and Caroline Dettmar, 1602 Marsden. I just used this method to find the deaths of some of my ancestors by referencing the death and burial date of their child. You can write to the Catholic Cemeteries Office and get a printout of who all is buried with Edna at Old Cathedral and what their burial details were. If Edna was the 1st of many, you may find Henry and Caroline buried there later. The fee is $15.00. The Catholic Cemeteries Office address is 222 N 17th St, Phila, 19103-1299 . Google them for details and a search form.
