missing Knorr couple from 1880 US census

[Rosezi]

This request is connected to an earlier request fro help on the Lancashire forum for 1871 passenger list.

Searching the 1880 US census for Oscar D Knorr born abt 1861 Pennsylvania, and his wife Elizabeth W Knorr (maiden name Witham) born 1857 Liverpool. They wed in 1879 in Burlington, New Jersey, but may have moved to Philadelphia soon after.  Oscar may have died between 1879 and 1884 as Elizabeth remarries George W Robinson in Pennsylvania in 1884

Added- here's the marriage in 1879 that you mentioned. Suspect that the actual record might list parents names, etc.

The above details look more likely now- Elizabeth W. Knorr married 1894 Robinson-

Looks like the correct Oscar D. Knorr- daughter Marion in Robinson household in 1900-
