>>Hi,
>>
>>I am finally at the end of my rope on this one. I have three bits of
>>evidence to document the existence of the sister of my great grandmother.
>>1. In 1848 she is listed with her family arriving in Philadelphia Dec 8
>>from Ireland.
>>2. In 1864 she, Margaret O'Malley, married Eugene McGrath at St. Philip
>>Neri R.C. church in Philadelphia.
>>3. In 1880 she is living with a nephew and his family. She is listed as a
>>widow who had two children, two alive.
>>
>>That's all.
>>
>>I have been unsuccessful finding her in the 1870, 1900, 1910 and 1920
>>census (through Ancestry or Heritage Quest). My Aunt tells me she was
>>still around in 1924 to nurse her sister until she died. I have a
>>photograph of her as an older woman, with what looks like hair the color
>>of
>>steel, her purse on her arm.
>>
>>I just finished going through two districts of the 1870 census in Philly
>>page by page to see if I could find her. No luck.
>>
>>Can anyone suggest ways to find more evidence of her?
>>
>>Thanks for suggestions and ideas.
