Anybody familiar with Pittsburgh history aware of a Wilson's Row on Forbes around the year 1876? It could be something other than Wilson's. I'm having trouble reading the penmanship.
For context:
- Michael is the son of Edward McCloskey and Elizabeth (Ihmsen) Jones, who lived on the intersection of Ann and Miltenberger, which apparently existed at the time. Other family members lived at 119 Van Braam.
- Sarah Emma McGee was the daughter of Hugh McGee (a Tobacconist) and Rebecca Zimmerman. Both died young, and Sarah lived with Rebecca's parents Daniel and Julia Zimmerman.
Also, I'm assuming the Roman Catholic cathedral of the day was the original St. Paul's, right? Or are there others I'm not aware of?
Just looking to try to nail down location and options for other records. Thanks in advance.
