Eugene Stackhouse or etals......
I am stuck trying to obtain either the birth record of my 1st cuz, 2x
removed, Thomas J Mulvihill, 20 Dec 1883, Phila., Pa or his parents
marriage cert in Pa. - John F Mulvihill, abt 1858 and Mary Convery, abt
1864. This family is 1st found in Woodbridge, NJ in the 1910 Census.
That's it. Thomas becomes the Mayor of Cartaret, NJ from 1922 to 1930 and
disappears. Mayor's office only has a portrait of him. His wife, Gertrude
Bishop dies in Jan 1967 in NJ per the SSDI, but a paid search from Trenton,
NJ for the year 1967 has nothing.
Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated as I have tried
for 3 years and was lucky to get Thomas & Gertrude's marriage entry noted
from Woodbridge, NJ. Nothing else exists.
Thanks

>From 1682 to 1954 the City of Philadelphia was that
part of present day Philadelphia between the rivers
and between South St. and Vine St.
The city was part of the county of Philadelphia.
After 1794, the county of Philadelphia's boundaries
were the same as the present day City and County of
Philadelphia but the city's boundaries were still
between the rivers and between South St. and Vine St.
The areas north, south, and west of the actual city
contained various townships, buroughs, districts, etc.
which correspond to the present day neighborhoods,
such as the Township of Germantown which became the
neighborhood of Germantown. The city and county
consolidated in 1854. You do not state the date of
your will. If your ancestor died in one of the
buroughs, districts, townships, etc., he won't be
listed in the city directories.
