1940 Census–Henry Russell Worthington

There is no street address, but I know where this is. The 1940 Census called it Uwchlan, Chester, Pennsylvania, Enumeration District 92 – Family 73.

My Grandparents, and all but one of their children were listed.

The house was part of the Worthington Orchards, on U.S. Route 100.

This is the Rt 100 side of the house. (Photo not dated)

This next picture is of my Grandmother, keeper of the Garden that was in front of her.

This next picture was taken in 1999 on a visit to the farmhouse.

The other side of the house, looking at the front porch. (1999(

Another view of the side of the house.

The entrance to the house in 1999. This is the entrance we all used. Behind the photographer was where the “Packing Shed” and farm stand once stood.

The front of the house in 1999.

The farm house with a little snow, but a photo of the Packing House where we ALL worked, year round.

Thanks to Google Maps, a view of what was the Driveway, from Route 100 to the back of the house as seen above. The driveway above is covered with snow, but it was just up the hill from what’s left of the driveway today.

1940 Census–Marshall Darlington Strode

There have been a number of Walnut Street houses, at least the South Walnut street area, but we’ll move north about 10 blocks. This next house was the largest of the group so far. Marshall Darlington Strode was my 1st cousin, twice removed.

Three ‘surnames’ in one name, is of interest, certainly the Darlington / Strode connection, but Marshall as a given name is also through out my tree. “Just down the road a piece” is Marshallton. Wonder if there is a connection there?

At this point, this household was at this address in the 1940 Census, but the family was there in 1935 according to the 1940 Census information.

All four members of the household had college education.

Could not get a ‘tree less’ or fewer trees to see the beauty of this house.

1940 Census–Frank Darlington Strode

This is my Great Grandfather. This property, 423 West Union Street, has been in the 1910, 1920, 1930, 1940, and referred to as living at this address in 1935.

Only two folk are listed in the 1940 Census, but look back a couple of Census years. (1910)

My grandfather is on the 4th line

1940 Census–John Hibberd Bartram

402, as this next one was referred to. My Great Aunt Anna lived in this house. Although the memories have faded, I know I have been there many times. My grandmother and her sister were very close. Only a couple of weeks ago, we buried a member of this family, in the same cemetery where many of this household are buried.

Family was in this house in the 1920, 1930, 1940, and referred to as living there in 1935. I do have older pictures of this place.

Cheyney / Bartram connection, as well as link to the Henderson’s. My cousin has a Henderson Bible, with lots of great information in it.

This is a picture of the Son, in the 1940 Census. John Hibberd Bartram (1921 – 1993). The photo isn’t dated, but it may be about the time of the 1930 Census.

New Collections on Ancestry.com

Having hear of the agreement between the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and Ancestry.com, I was wondering IF or when I might find something of interest to me.

Was cleaning up my mother’s record in my file, adding Photos of the houses that I had taken on Friday, I noticed a shaky leaf, in fact 4 hints to look at. A record from the U.S. Cemetery and Funeral Home Collection [database on-line] Provo, UT, USA, Ancestry.com Operations, Inc, 2011. That was cool, had that. But I was totally taken aback with the next hit.

This is the entry, on the page, from the Church Registry, of my mother’s Baptism.

The very interesting thing here, is that on Friday, past, I took this photo:

I know that Font, both my brother, father and I were Baptized at this same font in 1949. I just happened to take this picture and to find this Church Record is awesome.
