Thank you, Elaine and Helen,
My father would have attended school roughly 1901-1913. His family lived
very near Widener their entire lives. His father was working for PMC (now
Widener) as a fireman when he died in 1932.
H(arry or Henry) Weston EYRE was b: 1896 and was living w/his parents at
431 E 12th St in Chester during the 1900 census.

I would like to know if anyone knows the surname GIRARD.
Seems I have been searching for info on these people forever.
There would have been a Mary Girard, Joan Girard, and Alice Girard
who would have attended Glen-Nor High School in Prospect Park Pa
I am guessing between the years of 1945 to 1957.
The fathers name was Robert the mother Margaret
They had a brother who drowned in the quarry I think at Tinicum about 1956 or
so he was only 17.
I believe they lived in Glenolden. All three girls would be

Just to mess you up further!!! First I thought you should look at Chester
Co. But then I remembered that my Gt Gt grandfather died in 1804, having
lived in Upper Darby, and he is buried in Blockley Baptist Church Cem in now
Philadelphia! It was just across the line from Upper Darby! And I only
know that he was buried there because a genealogist was walking down the
street years ago and saw workmen loading tombstones on a truck from a
cemetery. He asked what they were doing and got permission to copy a

Hello~
If somebody lived at "6 East of Booth Street" in 1888 in CHester and 3106 N. 6th Street in 1900 in Chester,
what would have been the likely Methodist church they would have attended? Are both those addresses in the same general area? (I'm wondering if the *6 East of Booth* means 6th Street.
Thanks.....

I am looking for information on a school which was located at 4904 Woodland
Ave.
I got this address from an Upper Darby Year book 1939 address under the
picture.
I have no idea what type of "school" this was (reform school, detention
center or...) I know it was in operation until the 60's. I went to a reunion
or fair that was held there early 60's, it may have been late 50's. They had

In responce to Mary Jefferson,
Old Swedes Church is in Wilmington, Delaware, now called Trinity Church, I
believe. They have a website. The church was originated by the Swedes in the
17th century, but many denominations married there. Marriage records are
available, but a bit steep in price.
I have a Quaker ancestor recorded married there in 1731, who was promptly
disowned by the Friends.
As far as what religion they would be, where they came from would probably
give you a clue.

Hi list,
In the past, I have always asked, at the cemetery office, who pays
for the perpetual care or for the upkeep of the graves. This helps you
find other relatives, (mostly ones still living). Of course I would ask
who purchase the lot & who now owns it. Now, I know to ask for
affidavits, too! :)
I sent to Woodlawn Cemetery, in the Bronx, for records. When I
received the info I received something I never thought of pertaining to
the owners of cemetery lots -- affidavits. The affidavi

Have you found the PYOTT Family in the Federal Census Records
in 1830 & before? Are they living in the Upper Darby area?
In the past, I have found many family genealogist looking to find
where their family members from Upper Darby are buried -- most
often it is in the Philadelphia area or other surrounding counties.

Thanks for your help everyone. You've given me a couple of leads to follow

Pyott were married in 1772 in Old Swede's Church in Philadelphia. (After
that they are recorded as living in Upper Darby.) What religion would they
be? I've looked the church up on various websites, but can't put my finger
on it. Then I read that sometimes Quakers who were marrying outside the
fold would get married in that church, but I can't find any reco
Judy,
On a map (c1916), I found a school at 15th & Walnut Sts. It does
not give the name of the school but I think it is Wetherill. This is
the school closest to 431 E. 12th St., Chester, Delaware Co., PA but
of course this does not mean it is the school your father attended.
If he went to a Catholic School it was most likely St. Michael's
at 7th & Welsh Sts.
If he graduated from Chester High School there are year books
(with pictures of the graduates) at the DCHS.

I'm trying to identify several Pyles named in a 1794 deed that descended
through my wife's family for a plot of land straddling the border of Bethel
Township, Delaware County, PA, and New Castle County, Del. I presume these
people are somehow related to my wife, but am not sure how.
First, here's my wife's line:

Daniel Pyle (1694-1756) - Mary Pennell
Robert Pyle (1730-?) - Rebecca Hampton
