1) His parents are John H. Willcox and Sarah Ellis
2) He was born 8 Aug 1840 and died 30 May 1909. He was 68 years old.
2) His address at time of death was 4239 Jacawanna (or Sacawanna?) Sr - 23rd Ward - I need to make sense of this address
3) He was born in Philadelphia - so in 1840 John H & Sarah were in the Philadelphia area.
4) His occupation was cotton manufacturer
5) Place of burial Leverington Ave (*see note)
Conclusions:
1) Source to verify his parents' names,
2) Most likely the same John and Sarah who "removed to Kensington" in other documents - because this is in the Kensington area (the undertaker's address is Kensington).
