Other Children of Francis P. Burns s/o Patrick & Ellen

Ellen or Ella A. Burns, second daughter of Francis P. and Mary McKnight Burns was born March of 1868 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She married Harvey (Harry) Cobb on April 2, 1893 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was born December 1862 in New Jersey, the son of John A. and Elizabeth H. Cobb, from Waterford, Camden County, New Jersey. The 1900 Census showed they had four children, Anna, Joseph, Harry Junior, and Russell. It is unknown when Ella died, but it was sometime after 1930. The 1930 census was the last record of them together, in Philadelphia at 2036 South Alden Street. Regina Burns was born in 1872 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She married Arthur Welch of South Carolina on 5 July 1894 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She died sometime after 1920. A search for them in the 1930 census was unfruitful. She and Arthur were not together, at the very least, and no Regina Burns is listed which matches her information. William Burns was born in January or June of 1875 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He married Katherine about August of 1899. She was born March 1882. 1900 thru 1920 his occupation was a Cooper in a barrel factory. They lived in rented homes in the South Philadelphia area at 214 Daly Street and 234 Dickenson Street. Children born to them were Francis born 1901 in Pennsylvania, William junior was born 1903 and Viola in 1906 both in New Jersey, Hazel born in 1910, George in 1915, and Katherine in 1917. Viola Burns was not listed on the 1920 Federal census so it is possible she died; although I cannot find it at this time. It is possible they lived in New Jersey for several years. It is unknown when either of them died, and their common names make searches very difficult without knowing more about them.


Francis T. Burns was born in June 1877 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was known as “Frank. He worked in Sugar Operations. Possibly, at Franklin Sugar Refinery located between Almond and Front Streets. It is unknown whom he married or when he died. There were many “Frank” and “Francis” Burns in the area. James Burns was born in June of 1879 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was a grocer by occupation but nothing more is known of him. His common name presents a large barrier to his search, just the same as his siblings. John Burns was born about 1881, but died only three years later, on 9 July 1884 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania of “congestive membranes.” He was buried on 10 July 1884 in Old Cathedral Cemetery, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In the same plot owned by Patrick Burns

Margaret (Maggie) Burns was born in October of 1883 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She married Howard Durfor on October 13 1912 in New Castle Delaware. He was the son of Abraham and Mary McGinnis Durfor and was born May 1, 1880. In 1914, they lived at 2244 S. Croskey Street; which is between Jackson and Wolf Streets. She gave the information that was on her father’s death certificate. The 1920 census and the 1942 World War II draft card show their residence as Atlantic City, New Jersey. The draft card showed there address was 151 South Arkansas Avenue. The Draft information stated he worked at Atlantic Refining Company on 1344 Passyunk Avenue. Howard Durfor died November 29, 1959. At his death he was a widower and lived in El Paso Texas; working as an Assistant Supervisor in a refining company. He was buried in Fernwood Cemetery, Lansdowne Pennsylvania. No further information has been found yet.
