No problem Shaun.  ;D
BULLYING is the use of force, coercion, hurtful teasing, comments, or threats, in order to abuse, aggressively dominate, or intimidate one or more others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual.

I signed up to a commercial news archive database and found a reference in the Philadelphia Inquirer (25 December 1917) to the issue of this marriage license:

Isabel Armstrong , 1828 S.27th St and John H Austin 4707 Penn St

Anna M Armstrong 19


ARMSTRONG - on March 9 1906, ANNA MAY, wife of Charles Armstrong, aged 24 years.............funeral services.........at residence of her brother-in-law Mr William B Thompson, 1433 S. 19th St. Interment at Mt Moriah cemetery

Excellent Shaun - a good days work.  It did look a close possibility for Charles.  So you are still missing the death of John and remarriage of Isabel. Still hoping your commercial news database will come up with an answer  ;)

Found a few more things.

Delaware County Library has an excellent (and free) digitised local newpaper database which has a 1956 obit for Charles Armstrong http://delawarecolib.newspaperarchive.com/Default.aspx

I also found a marriage for John H Austin's younger brother James S Austin - to Katherine Vesper in Philadelphia in 1929. I've been looking for that for a while. James arrived from England in 1921.

Online availability of the Philadelphia Inquirer only goes up to 1922 at present.

Really pleased all your bits and bobs are coming together slowly - another good site.   It is a shame about the Philadelphia Inquirer, needed some obituary info on a Catholic Priest but the date I wanted was March 1934 !!

Many Thanks for the link Shaun. I have passed that information on, if it does'nt help with the Catholic Priest, it may help with other relatives.

Thanks Alot.  ;D
