I have two Craig families, each with a John that was born around the turn of the century, and both of their mothers were an Isabella/Isobel Wood. I've found that around this time, many seem to have married a distant (or not so much) cousin/relative. This is the first family that may likely be yours: John Craig, b.1801, Seatown of Portlethen. Son of George and Isabella Wood (m. 1801) Banchory Devenick. Other children of George and Isabella are James (1803)--my 3rdgreatgrandfather, Elspet (1805) and Lily (1810). I suspect this has a chance of being your family due to the names of your John Craig's children. I also have a John Craig, b.1797, son of John Craig and Isabella Wood, (m.1792) Banchory Devenick). Other children of John and Isabella are Margaret (1793), Alexander (1795), Helen (1799), Isobel (1802)--my 3rdgreatgrandmother, the wife of James Craig indicated above, Jean (1804), and George (1807). Would you be willing to share any information about your findings of Craigs in Portlethen cemetery and other research? Please feel free to email me directly as well.
