Hi
I have a Daniel English born abt 1873 in Pennsylvania.
I have found him on the 1880 census with parents Daniel 60 and Mary M 38 and siblings Mary 10, Annie 9, Daniel 5, Joseph 3, and Tom 1. They were living in Rocester Beaver County Pennsylvania.
I can't find a birth record for Daniel in Pennsylvania or a marriage record (he married Nell Agnes Wilder abt 1895 poss in Missouri) or a death record and I can't find death records for his parents either.
So if anyone could help find these dates for me I would much appreciate it. Daniel senior connects to my grandmothers family but I am finding it hard to find the proof.
All the best

Wow thanks for all that. So now I know that Daniel senior married Mary McGraw about 1869 ish as this would be his 2nd marriage. (parents to Daniel Junior) I found Daniel senior on the 1860 census
Daniel English 36
Ellen " 33
Michael " 5
John " 1mt
All living in Baden Beaver Co, Pennsylvania.
CaroleW thanks for your reply. I chose the other family for 2 reasons. I knew from other census that Daniels parents were both born in Ireland and 2ndly I knew Daniel jr had a brother, Thomas, who was born 1878 so the family I quoted ticked all the boxes.
Thank you for all your lookups RJ137. I have them pretty much covered on census I just need to find some more information on Daniel English senior now to tie things up.
Thanks a million to all that helped so far

Daniel English senior wrote a will 21 April 1887, his will is on ancestry probated 30 April 1887.
Left property 4 lots on Deer Lane with a house on one of them to wife Mary for her lifetime or as long as she remained a widow.
Then to his children by his wife Mary, Annie, Daniel, Francis, Joseph, Jeremiah, Thomas.
Nothing for Michael and John children of his first wife.
1888 heirs of Daniel English to pay taxes on lots 1,2,3 & 4 Deer Lane.
ADDED
Daniel (senior) is paying taxes on property 1854 so presumably about the time he married first.

Oooooooh Amondg,
I have just found that myself and from looking at a tree on ancestry they have a marriage of Daniel English to Mary McGraw 20 Jun 1868 New Brighton, Pennsylvania. I am going to get in contact with the tree owner and find out if they have a copy of the marriage. I can't seem to find any info on the internet so hopefully they might have the answers I need.
The children of Daniel are Mary 1869, Hannah "Annie" 1871, Daniel Francis 1873, Joseph Jeremiah 1876 and Thomas Patrick 1879. Interestingly there is no mention of Michael or John. I need to keep looking
Thanks for your help
