Searches: Frederick W. Bauer, born 1865 to 1885 in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, 1920 and 1930 (15,796 rows; the 1873 Frederick W. rows first); the same with father born Germany (85 rows, none matching); Frederick Bauer, born 1845 to 1849 in Germany, Philadelphia, 1880 and 1900 (31,137 rows; the 1880 row first).
Result: Found, with a conflict on the 1920 and 1930 candidate. The 1880 household of Frederick Bauer Jr. is read; his son Frederick (born about 1873) is the likely informant. The 1920 and 1930 Frederick W. Bauer (born 1873) is a candidate only.

Plain reading

In June 1880 Frederick Bauer (born at Württemberg about 1847, in the milk business) lived in North Philadelphia with his wife Louisa (29, born Pennsylvania to Hesse-Cassel parents) and their children Frederick (7) and Annie (3). This is Frederick Bauer Jr. of Chapter 6 (born 16 January 1847 at Vaihingen, died 5 August 1923). His son Frederick, born about 1873, is the probable informant "Frederick W. Bauer" of 1409 Morris Building.

Notes

STATED for the 1880 household (read on the image: names, ages, birthplaces and the milk business). PROBABLE that this Frederick is Frederick Bauer Jr. of the 1923 certificate (age 33 in 1880 gives 1847; Württemberg birth agrees with Vaihingen; the online tree attaches the same record to Frederick Bauer 1847 to 1923, KKSR-P3K, a POSSIBLE tie only). POSSIBLE that the Frederick W. Bauer of 1920 and 1930 is his son (born about 1873 against "about 1873"; given name; the index also gives "Frederick W." and an online tree dates him 1872 to 1933). Conflicts: (1) Father's birthplace: the 1920 and 1930 index give Frederick W.'s father and mother as born in Pennsylvania; Frederick Jr. was born in Württemberg (1880, image) and his death certificate gives both his parents as born in Germany, so a son would have a German-born father. Either the 1920 and 1930 Frederick W. is a different man, or the enumerator's entry is wrong. (2) The 1880 enumerator wrote the surname "Bauer" in a hand that could be read "Bonr" or "Bouer"; the index reads "Bauer". (3) Louisa's parentage, Hesse-Cassel on both sides, is new; Chapter 6 records no wife for Frederick Jr.
