____ Margaret 38 F W Keeping house Penna

____ Mira 19 F W at home Penna

Cobb Mira 36 F W at home Penna

Is Mira COBB's age correct? If so, she would be Margaret's unmarried sister, not her mother. I'm more inclined to think the enumerator erred (Myra should be 56, not 36), especially as no younger Myra is present in 1860.

5b. 1870 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #6 of 245): Philadelphia P.O., Philadelphia (Ward 1, Dist. 2), Philadelphia Co., PA, Roll M593_1387, p. 454B, PN 6, 45/45, enumerated 2 Jun 1870, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1870 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

Earle A 40 M W T???? Stone 300 Penna

_____ Rosiline 18 F W at home Penna

____ Eva 8 F W at home Penna

Elizabeth would appear to be Myra's widowed daughter-in-law.
