Hi everyone,
I was aiming to do research on my great aunt Mary Elizabeth Larkin but was only able to find her birthday and state she was located in (28 APR 1905 / Pennsylvania). I've been trying to find her death certificate or at least the date / place where she died for more of a better picture, but all I'm bringing up is a single census record of her existence. I know she was married on were married on 5/15/28 to a Harry Bennett and divorced on 6/10/35 if that helps.
If anyone would be able to assist with any additional information or at least a whereabout, it'd be appreciated! Her parents were William James Larkin (09 OCT 1882 - 14 NOV 1959) and Mary Larkin (26 NOV 1885 - 30 NOV 1957) both in Pennsylvania.
Thank you in advance!

Interesting. I do my ancestors lived in the Philadelphia / Delaware County area. So those could be a best shot. I do know there's a Mullan on her mother's side, but that just may be coincidence
-
Oh also, I do know there is a death certificate for Mary's mother, they had the exact same first and middle name. Got confused on that one.

Wonder if this could be them in 1910 - under "Sarkin" Cosgrove Street Philadelphia Ward 22, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Yeah that could be it. She was the oldest, then there was her sister Anne, followed by her brother William James Larkin Jr and then the youngest Catherine if that helps

Those are the only two I was able to find out of them. Only one for William James Larkin Jr was a death certificate of his newborn child. So it may be just him (although i do have his death date and location) and Mary Elizabeth that don't have one available?
-
Have you checked to see if there is a family plot at Calvary Cemetery ?

Sandra
I know only one of them is buried there and there wasn't a family plot at a different cemetery until about my grandfather, so it's unlikely they'd be buried there sadly
-
Sorry, have to pop out for short while. Back later.
Sandra

No worries. Thank you for your assistance

Sad that the 2 sisters Anna and Catherine died relatively young. Makes you wonder if Mary also died at a young age.
