Hi On 11th August 1923, James Craig, then aged 42 (born 1878 in Beith), set sail from Liverpool for Halifax, Canada on the Cunard ship ‘Caronia.’ In all records I’ve found of him his occupation is given as shipwright, but under the “rank, profession or calling of passengers” column in the ship’s record, his is given as ‘harvester’ – as were all the other men on the ship - all were aged between 20 – 50. His address was given as 59 Ardgowan Street, Port Glasgow. A bit of cursory research on the internet revealed that harvest time was August – end October, and 1923 saw peak numbers of harvesters recruited by the Canadian Pacific Railway from Canada, the US & Britain. We have no idea where he went after landing in Halifax. If anyone has any information about James Craig, or any ideas as to how I might go about researching what happened to him next, I would be very grateful! Many thanks Liz Jones

Hi I am researching a Craig family who I have traced back to Beith in the early 1800s, before moving to Paisley, Greenock, Port Glasgow & Inverkip. James Craig was born in Beith c1806. There were 3 James Craigs born in Beith within a few years of each other & as his age varies slightly from census to census I have not yet discovered which one this particular Craig line descends from: 12.1.1800, son of Robert Craig & Ann Kenneday 23.1.1803, son of James Craig & Margaret Love 17.2.1805, son of James Craig & Janet Hunter On 24.11.1824 in Beith he married Isabella WHITEFORD, the daughter of James & Janet (THOMSON) Whiteford, who was baptised in Beith on 5.5.1805. James (35) & Isabella (27) Craig had the following children: Janet (bap.14.8.1825), James (b.9.11.1827), Robert (bap.14.2.1830), Margaret (b.c1832), William (bap.14.6.1835), Jean (bap.11.6.1837), Isabella (b.c1840), John (born c1843) and Hugh (born c1846). The family lived at 83 Bunswynd, Beith. John (b.c1843) married Janet GEMMELL on 3.7.1873 in Paisley. Janet was the daughter of John and Margaret Gemmell (nee COCHRAN), born 9.3.1843 in the parish of Beith. Shortly after their marriage the couple moved to Greenock, where their children were born: Robert (b.c1873), Margaret (b.c1874), Isabella (b.c1877), James (b.c1878), John (b.c1881), and Janet (b.c1888). James Craig (b.c1878) married Lizzie MCBRIDE on 31.10.1901 in Greenock. Lizzie was the daughter of John McBride (labourer) and Sarah (nee MCGHEE), a couple who’d moved to Greenock from County Antrim. They had eight children: Sarah McGhee (b 1902), James, Cissy, Robert, John, Ella, Sandy (Alexander), Jenny (Janet), & Hugh (b.1922). Hugh Craig was born at 59 Ardgowan Street in Port Glasgow. On 11th August 1923, James Craig, then aged 42, set sail from Liverpool for Halifax, Canada on the Cunard ship ‘Caronia’ to work as a harvester. We think he may have remained in Canada. When Hugh gave Lizzie’s name as his next of kin in 1942, she was living in Ardgowan Place, Inverkip. Ardgowan Place is in Main Road, Inverkip. Hugh moved to Liverpool. Jenny ran a Post Office in Thames Ditton. We believe that James or John & Robert moved to Kent. If anyone else is researching the same family, we would love to hear from you! Kind regards Liz Jones

May want to check out Logan and Coles county as well. I think you can access it on here, but there is also quite a lot of info on the site www.usgenweb.com , if you haven't seen it you might find it helpful. I am married to a Craig, who was raised most of his life in Edgar County and still has a ton of family there. His family is being quite elusive. The granparent we are looking for are Eli Craig whose spouse was Experience Jones. They were both said to be captured/killed by Indians. The children were raised by different families and it is quiet difficult trying to put it all together. Anyway, I thought this info might help you some. I don't think I am renewing my sub here so my e-mail is jcraig@hotmail.com should any of you find some link you would like to check out. I do have the Craig family history that my husband's family has put together. Would be more than happy to help if I can.

My husband's family is from Edgar County and before that were in Logan County, IL. The genweb is free and can be very useful. We believe my husband's Craig line was here long before your time frame, but there a lot of Craig's on that side of the state. You may want to check out Indiana on that site also as there are several Craig families there and is right next door to the area you are looking at. Good Luck!
