27 October 1890  - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The above is a published genealogy not an official record. I failed to find it on any offiical record.

Hi Laura,

Welcome to RootsChat

Ancestry tree give marriage date as 27 October 1890 Philadelphia (no source) Perhaps try and contact the owner.
1900 Census says married 1893  ???

Have you tried Philadelphia marriages on family search 1885 - 1951  ?

This marriage in NJ matches with the 1900 census info:

Side note: WWI entry gives his dob as 4 March 1873 rather than 1874:

Thank you so, much for the link to find a Grave. I have never been to Pennsylvania, let alone near Philadelphia.  I have Helen's Death certificate, so I knew where she was buried. I am very grateful for the picture of the place. :)

Sandra,
Thank you for your post, unfortunately, I have searched these records. I am happy to report that prose has found a good possibility. I never thought about looking around where her grandparents lived. Thanks again for your help.
