Burial Place: Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Cause of death Artereal Sclerosis.
Address given 1540 S 28th St...........same as Margaret.

Can't find anything else on them- someone may be able to look for records for the Scanl(o,a)n children on your behalf.

Eli did potter back and forth across the Atlantic in the early years. Perhaps someone could look at all those and extract the details from the image??

Andrew A Scanlon is probably Andrew Aloysius Scanlon b 22 Dec 1888. He gives his n.o.k as Lottie Scanlon at 5616 Loretta Avenue, Phila PA and his employer as The City at 35th District Police Station5935 York Rd. A Policeman??

He was illegible for WW2 as he had an infected foot.

And his WW1 draft - married wth one child. (1917) but why is there no mention of children on the 1920 census?

Roman Catholic > St James Church 'other records'

A list of people who have been 'admitted to the Church' Charlotte's name is amongst those dated 1906. Feintly, in the 'left' column it says 'Married' and something else.

I'm trying to trace Eli Furness born c1851 in Lancashire son of James and Charlotte. I have him up to the 1871 census but then lose track of him. There is a marriage in the Bury district in 1872 to Margaret Hardman but i can't find either of them in the 1881 census. I think I found a Eli Furness born in England in the 1920 US Census but I don't have a subscription to view it. Would be great if someone could help me.

Thanks
Sam
