Hello All,
Hoping someone can help. Looking for origins of ggf Charles Dick(b.~1847-d.1872PHL); also George Dick(1826-68,"native of Co.Tyrone" according to obit) and Thomas Dick(~1848-91).I believe all three are from Co Tyrone, perhaps near Strabane. All three em. to PHL and were members of the same church-Protestant Episcopal. George marr. Mary Ann(?nee?where?date). They had 5 children, b. and bapt. in Phila:James Henry,1854, Mary Jane1856, Martha1858,John Thomas 1865, Alicia 1868.

Charles Dick was present in PHL Dec 1869, as a sponsor at the bapt of his sister Martha Dick Davison's 3rd child Mary Ann. The other sponsor was Isabella Hall. Martha marr. Samuel Davison(bIRL) 1864 in a Presbyterian church in PHL. Charles marr. Mary Ann Blair(bIRL~1848) in PHL 31Oct1870 in Episcopal Church.Their only child William was born 1871. Charles drowned in an accident on the PHL waterfront1872; his widow and son returned to IRL where he was raised. He returned to PHL in the 1890's, marr. Rebecca Black(b.Dunfanaghy,Donegal1882) in 1900.Any information on the above will be very very much appreciated. I am happy to share extensive family info with anyone interested.
