Hello all,
I went through the Southwark District of Philadelphia, PA in the 1850,
as well as other districts) and I highlighted families that are either
connected or might be connected to my own family. I am listing those families here
to see if any of you out there might have a connection and have some
information to add or confirm possible relationships. I do have some information on
some families and I am more than willing to share.
If the page number is at the top of the cenus page image I will include
it with the names. If not then I will list the "Dwelling-house numbered in
the order or visitation" which is the 1st column on the left hand side of the
actual image itself.
All poeple living in the same household are grouped together with a space or
2 seperating each household. Also...I am taking the best guess that I can
on some information here because it is hard to read. I will place a question
mark directly after the information that I guess on just incase I'm wrong.
Hey...we're not all perfect.
Here we go...
