Hi Helen
Edgar was in Philadelphia living as a boarder in the household of M. Sarah Rehr (who
according to family stories was an aunt but I have found no proof of her being an aunt or
an aunt by marriage.)
I have looked for Annie born in PA circa 1852-1854 in 1870 and there are just too many.
Several I can rule out but not all. I have paid for several Philadelphia marriage records
for women named Annie but there is a gap in what’s available for them between the 1880
census and 1885. I pretty much would have to go to Philadelphia and sift through those 5
years. I have paid for marriage record searches for Annie Carey in Philly from 1880-1885
with no results.
I will look again at 1900—and hope that the census info will accurately reflect her age
and birth location of her and her parents. Thanks so much.

Where was Edgar in 1900?? Was it same location as 1880? I suppose you looked for a
marriage record for his mother... Have you searched in 1900 census for Annie in same area
as 1880, with no surname, age 47, using her birth location from 1880. See how many you
come up with & see if that gives you any possibilities. Too bad her given name was not
unique... good luck... s/Helen

He was in the 1880 census in Philadelphia with his widowed mother Annie, age 27 born PA.
Listed his father as born PA. He was my grandfather and a total brick wall. He put on
his Social Security application that he didn’t know his mother’s name. She disappears
after the 1880 census because she supposedly remarried but I cannot find the step father’s
name. Any help would be appreciated.
