2.  1870 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com):  Edward STRAUB (æ 9/12, b. PA) is living in Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne Co., PA, with his parents (q.v.).  Patrick CONROY (æ 27, b. IRE) is living in Wilkes-Barre Twp., Luzerne Co., PA (p. 521B), with his widowed mother, Mary (æ 66, b. IRE), and a sister, Catherine (æ 27, b. IRE).

3.  1880 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com):  Edward STRAUB (æ 10, b. PA) is living in Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne Co., PA, with his parents (q.v.).  There are three Mary CONROYs born ca. 1878 in PA and living in PA with father Pat/Patrick born in Ireland, but only one is in Wilkes-Barre:  Mary CONROY (æ 3, b. PA) in Ward 3 (p. 579C), with parents, Patk. CONROY (æ 31, b. IRE) & Cassie (æ 23, b. PA), and a sister, Jane CONROY (æ 9m, b. Sep 1879, PA).  If this is our Mary, her father's age is wrong in the 1900 census, but considering that Otto's age is off by a decade in that census, perhaps Patrick's is, too.

Otto was born in 1870, not 1860, so he's age 29, not 39.  Mary's father was born in Ireland, not England. It appears Patrick CONROY's age may be off a decade, too.
