I might look through the Philadelphia arrivals themselves - they were a separate set of records.
He isn't in all the city directories for some reason.
I didn't find him by searching the Philadelphia arrivals separately.
I looked back through the city directories. There are no other Cotters at any of his addresses - the ones for him on the censuses or the ones for him in the city directories.

thks for your efforts I have now located on social media some descendants of Patrick Cotter hoping I will get replies to my messages will update you if I see.on 1900 census Patrick is recorded as born March 1873 immigrated 1892 . I dont hold much hope about the 2nd family of Patrick having any info on his origins.
