Author: lisabrown6067 Surnames: Epps, Craig Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.craig/4594/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I'm hoping someone out there might be able to help... I am looking for more information on a William Henry Craig who was born in around 1862 in Ontario. Unfortunately I don't have the location and that is a problem because William Craig is a common name. I do know from his Manitoba marriage certificate that he married an Annie Epps in 1887 and it lists his father as William and his mother as Martha. I don't find a William and Martha having had a William in Ontario at that time on any census record. I am assuming a parent died shortly after his birth and he and potentially some siblings were separated. If this sounds common to anyone I would appreciate whatever you can tell me.

Author: anneliesek Surnames: Craig, Hart Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.craig/2036.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I know this message was posted many years ago, but this is the first time I have seen it. Your post and the reply interested me, as I thought it might help with my g-grandmother's ancestry. Her name was Pearl, she m. Henry R. Rushing in Dyer Co., Tennessee, but her name on the marriage record is illegible. The bond was signed by what looks like I. or J. C. Craig, and her niece (my grandmother's first cousin) said she was a member of the Craig family. She divorced my g-grandmother, and gave custody of her two children to him. She later remarried, and last anyone heard was living in MO. What interested me most, is that the reply to you post referred you to the Rev David Craig and his wife Elizabeth. I had been looking at this family, as in 1880 they had a 4 year old named Mary Pearl living in the household, id'ed as a granddaughter. Also in the household is a Bettie Hart, a stepdaughter, which I believe indicates this is the household you were referred to. Who exactly! is your Pearl Irene (Craig) Warren, and how does she fit in this family. Do you know anything about the Turner male in this same household in 1880 who is identified as a brother in law? Thanks for any help. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
