Hi Tony, I have no connection but I thought I'd pass this information on in case it is new to you. Familysearch.org has Phila. Death certificates on there from the 1803- 1915. By putting in "Mason" and the parents name "Frank" and "Rose" into the search engine, I found the death certificates of two of their children. I ran the addresses you listed in the search engine for the Phila. Inquirer archives but had no luck.

Hello Mary, Many thanks for your interest and response. The 1910 Census lists a deceased child but does not name it . Your information is most interesting because, while a 'Doris Mason' is listed on the 1910 aged 4, there is no sign of her on the 1920 Census. So I suspect she died between 1910 & 1915. Is it possible for you confirm names and dates of these deaths for me please ?
