Tim,
Thanks for trying to find William.It always helps to have a second pair of eyes looking things over.No William Petticrew appeared in the 1930 census for Philly.So, the William who died there 9 Mar 1935 must have arrived after that census.
I posted everything I found on the death certificate.There was no birthdate given.
The last confirmed sighting I have for grandfather Will is in the 1924 Cleveland city directory.After that, either his wife Frances or eldest son are listed in the directory as the householder, and William is not listed at all.
Fold3.com does not have Philly city directories past 1922.I have no other source for those directories.
I just found this intriguing pair of entries in the 1926 Jacksonville FL city directory:
Petticrew, Betty, r816 Dellwood Ave.
Petticrew, Wm R, slsmn, r 816 Dellwood Ave.
I could not find any Wm R. or Betty Petticrew in the 1930 census for Jacksonville to get further info on this pair.And no Betty or Elizabeth Petticrew in Philly then, either.
My grandfather was a salesman in his adult years, so that could have been him in Jacksonville in 1926.
Stuck once again.
