General

John and Josephine were not found in the index of Philadelphia marriages, 1885-1951 at familysearch.org, which seem to be completed for the letter B.

In 1920, their son, John T. was living with his grandparents, Thomas and Margaret Windsor in Abington, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. (There was a Windsor family in 1900 with a daughter Josephine whose information matches John H.'s wife.) (Censuses.)
