I am the great grandson of Rev. James Crawford cir. 1816-1883 & Sarah Eyres cir. 1835-1887. I am attempting to trace family siblings and ancestors of Rev. James Crawford. I have obtained a copy an article copied from the Wiarton Echo, I believe dated July 27, l883 which states Mr. S. Crawford received word that his brother was dying at Parry Sound. It goes on to say that he left for Parry Sound but his brother died before he arrived, and goes on to qote my great grandfather;s obituary. I would appreciate any assistance anyone can give me in identifying S. Crawford. Attempts I have made, identified a Samuel Crawford who lived in Wiarton at that time having moved there from Kempel following retirement in 1866, I have obtained a list of Samuels sibblings who were from Drumholme Parish, County Donegal, Ireland. On the lists are two Samuel's and one James. One of the Samuel's would be correct as he was listed as having been baptised in 1806, corresponding with the Samuel from Wiarton, however the single listed James is listed as having been baptised in 1808. Methodist church records indicate Rev. James Crawford preached at Holland 1856, Arran 1857-58, Walkerton 1859-60, Mulmer 1861. My home address is : Garry Crawford 39 Lake Forest Dr., R.R.#3 Parry Sound, Ontario P2A 2W9 email: gcrawford3@hotmail.com I would appreciate any suggestions, postings or publications that could be made to further my quest. I am presently in Florida, and will be returning to Parry Sound in mid April. If you wish me to forward monies for these postings etc. please advise by email.
