Seeking information on the family below. Trying to 'track backwards' for this info.

The 1870 census of Philadelphia shows the info below:

Augustus Cornet
Barbara Cornet - wife (later census gives her birth place as Wuertemberg - maiden name was Widmeier)

Joseph Cornet
Jacob Cornet
George Cornet
Anna Cornet

The 1880 census of Philadelphia is unclear. The 1890 City Directory lists info given below:

1890 City directory listing for Philadelphia.
Cornet, Annie, wid Augustus, h 424 Jefferson
Cornet, George A. laborer, h 424 Jefferson
Cornet, Jacob F, tinsmith, h 424 Jefferson
Cornet, Joseph L, h 424 Jefferson
Cornet, Joseph L, clerk PO, h 1914 Marshall
Cornet, Augustus A, printer, h 1914 Marshall

Also, the Philadelphia Division 29 (part of) 1910 census shows one Cornet family at 619 East Westmoreland in Philadelphia. It gives a listing for a Joseph L. Cornet, (probably Jacob’s brother), and his mother, Barbara.

Barbara (Widmeier) Cornet is listed as being 70 years old, married once, mother of 9, of whom only 5 were alive in 1910.

Joseph’s family is listed below:


Seeking info on location of Augustus Cornet's birth, parents, etc.

There seem to be a couple of different families in the Philadelphia area with father's names as "August/Augustus" at that time.... bit confusing...

Any info is appreciated.
