These names are not very useful without dates ie birth and death dates, fathers, mothers, religion, children, occupations  and location.

It is best to do a pen picture of the people so we know where you have looked and what you have found already, then let us have the exact info you are wanting. 

Please link to any previous topics on these people if you have made posts.

In several previous posts we have asked that you be more specific and that you let us know where you have looked.  As this is not a paid for site but people helping others it is expected that you will do research yourself. 

ETA Don't forget to look at all the resources  here.

I'm not sure how you've 'jumped' back to these names but notice in this earlier thread (10 pages) it looks as though you didn't actually purchase the relevant marriage certificate-

The Philadelphia Orphan's Court has nothing to do with orphans in regard to marriages and simple, very simple, googling would have given you information such as this-
"In 1885, Pennsylvania authorized the Orphans’ Court in each county to register marriages."

You know Wexflyer Aghadowey's post or my post might just be the ones to encourage this poster to follow the rules and traditions of the site, being optimistic.   ;)

One bitten and twice shy with both of us searching and getting info for the poster and having it either ignored basically and with nary a word of thanks.
