Elizabeth Boyd

  General Notes:

A likely candidate for the family of Elizabeth Boyd is found in the 1920 census: The 1920 Federal Census for Philadelphia, Ward 8, Pennsylvania, District 187, page 125A, dated ?,?, 1920 records Elizabeth N. Boyd (20 - PA/Indiana/Washington D.C.) with her widowed mother, Meranda N. Boyd (48 - Washington D.C./Maine/Maine) and brother Crosley N. Boyd (17 - PA) living at 125 South 22nd Street.

This conclusion leads to the following:
The 1900 Federal Census for Philadelphia, Ward 15, Pennsylvania, District 268, page 64A, dated June 5, 1900 records Elizabeth N. Boyd (Nov 1899 - PA/Indiana/Washington D.C.) with her parents, George W. (Aug 1848 - Indiana/KY/Ohio) and Mira N. (Aug 1876 - Washington D.C./Maine/Maine) and what must be 1/2 siblings Oliver T. Boyd (Oct 1878 - Philadelphia/Indiana/Indiana), Lydia P. Boyd (June 1880 - PA/Indiana/Indiana), and Anna Boyd (June 1884 - PA/Indiana/Indiana) at 1821 Green Street. George has been married for 23 years while Mira for 2 years. Mira has had 1 child. George is the "Pres." of a "Railroad" while Oliver is a Clerk at the R. R. Office. Also in the household are 4 servants. Additional research seems to indicate that George is not the Present of a Railroad; but he is employed as a Passenger Agent with the Railroad.

The 1910 Federal Census for Philadelphia, Ward 8, Pennsylvania, District 128, page 269B, dated ?, ?, 1910 records Elizabeth Boyd (10 - PA/KY/Maine) with her parents, George W. (59 - KY/KY/KY) and Myra N. (38 - Maine/Maine/Maine), 1/2 sister Anna Boyd (25 - PA/KY/?) and brother Crosly Boyd (7 - PA/KY/Maine) living at 125 South 22nd Street. This is the 2nd marriage for George and 1st for Myra. They have been married for 11 years. George reports having had 5 children all of whom are still living while Myra does not indicate how many children she has had. George lists his employment as what look to be "Pass - Agent Guest / Railroad. Also in the household are 3 servants.
