According to the 1920 U.S. Census, they originally lived at 917 Daly
Street. The family later moved to 1438
Porter Street and then moved to Upper Darby, just west of Philadelphia. Antonio died in April of 1964. At this point we don’t know much about Maria
Ambruso Lauria. If any relative has any
more information, please contact me and I will add it to this posting.
