Notes
a. Note:   N259 Census records indicate that Mary (surname Curry?) was born in Ireland, immigrated about 1883 and about 2 years later married William Elderton, probably in Philadelphia.
  WARNING: Mary's parents are unknown. The census records are confusing for Mary. Three show her born in Ireland immigrating in 1883 or 1890. One shows her b. in Pennsylvania. Given the fact that her son is named Robert Curry Elderton, it is believed that Mary's surname is Curry. Her granddaughter Mary Elderton Wiard concurs. There is an elderly neighbor named Mary A. Curry who appears repeatedly in the census records with her daughter Rachel and her family. Mary A. must be related somehow, perhaps Mary Elderton's mother, but the census records all show her b. in Pennsylvania, not Ireland. Still, we have included her here for research purposes only.
  1900 census
 The 1900 census shows Mary Elderton had been married for 15 years and had 9 children, 7 of whom were living at the time. It shows that she was born in Ireland, her father b. in Pennsylvania and her mother in Ireland. Mary A. Curry and "Rachel Buell" were living two doors down in the 1900 census.
  1910 census
 The 1910 census shows Mary and her parents all b. in Pennsylvania. She had been married 25 years and had 7 children, all of whom were living.
  1920 census
 This census shows Mary and her parents b. in Ireland (perhaps Antrim, which has been crossed out). This census shows she immigrated in 1890, an obvious error since her children were born in Pennsylvania before that date. Living about 4 doors away was 90-year-old widow Mary Curry in the household of Rachel C. Buhl, divorced. Mary is shown as the mother of Rachel. Also in the household were Rachel's daughter Elsie and her husband Clarence McClintock.
  1930 census
 Mary was a widow in the 1930 census, living with her children Ann and Marian on East Mt. Pleasant Ave in Philadelphia. Son William was living next door. That census shows Mary and her parents all born in Northern Ireland. This census shows Mary immigrated in 1883.
  Three exclamation points (!!!) indicates a problem entry. The lineage from child to parent or vice versa may be in serious doubt or otherwise in need of further documentation or research.
