I'm told that Delaware didn't keep birth records 1886-1890 when they were born, so I haven't checked for birth records. I suppose it's possible records may have been registered on the local level; I'll have to check that out. I'm waiting to hear back from a researcher who was going to the NJ Archives to look for birth and death records for Edward and Elwood.
