Hi Carol,
You might have a slight problem with this one - Prior to 1906, Pennsylvania births and deaths were recorded only sporadically by the counties and some cities such as Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Genealogists rely on county records or non-governmental sources such as church registers, gravestone inscriptions and newspapers to obtain data for this earlier period.
At a cost (sorry hate to suggest this avenue) - You could request a search of records at the Philadelphia City Archives - Submit a written request with as much detail as possible (i.e. exact names and exact month/year) along with a cheque or money order made out to "City of Philadelphia" and a self-addressed stamped envelope (Letter size 4-1/8" x 9-1/2") .
The Archives needs the month and year of birth, death or marriage, along with the names of the parties. For birth records, the names of the parents are also required. Mailed requests for copies of certificates cost $10.00, which includes a simple search. In-person copies from microfilm reader/printers cost $1.00 per page, $2.00 minimum. If exact month and year are not known, or exact names are not known, provide the date range and name information and a search can be performed.
