unknown father of Edward C Conard b 1851 Phila PA
My husband's grandfather was Frank Paul Conard, b Jul 1894, Phila PA. Frank's father was Edward C Conard b 1851 Phila PA. I cannot figure out who Edward's father is.
I would appreciate any help or suggestions or connections as to how to figure out who Edward's father is, or how to figure out when he died, so I can get a death certificate, or how to get birth information. Pennsylvania's not easy!

Edward's mother is Henrietta Wilhemina Belling. She assumes the Conard surname after the 1850 census. I cannot find any marriage record for Belling + Conard.
Henrietta Belling ?marries?__?__ Conard late 1850/early 1850 (in census 1850 she is living with parents) has son, Edward C Conard in Sept 1851. No census afterward EVER lists her living with husband. But she has assumed the surname of Conard. Not listed as widowed until 1900 when living with her son Edward. Henrietta lists her birthday in 1900 census as Nov 1828 and that she was born in PA, her f bPA and mother b NJ. Some records list Henrietta's birth as being in NJ. Henrietta lives with her unmarried sister and her son in censuses after 1850. She is alive at least until 1900. I have been unable to determine her death date, so I cannot get her death certificate.
Parents of Henrietta Belling:
John Andrew Belling and Anna Johnson (per document in family files, Family Bible births, marriages and deaths), daughter Henrietta Wilhemina Belling.
Further information on Edward (whose father is unknown):
Edward C Conard marries 1885 (per 1900 census married 15 yrs) to Elizabeth “Lizzie” Waltz/Walz. Her birth is listed as Oct 1862 on the 1900 census, where she also lists her birth as in PA and her parents as having been born in Germany. Edward and Lizzie married in Camden, New Jersey.
They have two children:
1. Edward C b Feb 1889
2. Frank P b Jul 1894 (my husband's grandfather)
per 1900 census. Edward is a coach painter in 1900: 843 E Madison Street, fam #146
1900: Lived at 33rd Ward, 40th Div, Distr #874, bounded by Tioga, Kensington Ave., Allegheny Ave., and D.
Edward and his wife Lizzie are still alive in 1930 census.
Any ideas on what to do next? !
Thanks in advance.
