Greetings all! I am new to this list and have turned here as a bit of a last resort. This is a long shot but I must try. My g-grandfather on my father's side was a fellow named George Henry CRAIG. Interestingly enough, after having searched this list, I have found several, all dating earlier but indicating a possible onomastic tradition. This is what I have on my George Henry: Born ca. 1872 in Earlstown, Lancashire, England. He married Josephine Margaret Lord Feb. 13, 1892. They settled in the town of Lancaster and had six daughters. Georges occupation is given as "cabinetmaker" but somehow or other my father was under the impression that he was some kind of structural engineer.Georges siblings were Ada, Minie, and John. George Henry's father was Robert CRAIG, b. July 3, 1848 in Liverpool. Date of death unknown. Robert's father's name was James CRAIG dob. unk. Here's my quandary: George apparently left his family for America sometime after the birth of his daughter Gwendoline in 1904. I would love to know just what hapened to him. Any information and/or leads would be much appreciated. Thanks. Yours in the hunt, Ken Roberts

Ken, I have records of a Robert Craig who was born or christened in Liverpool 6th November 1849 son of Robert Craig and Margaret Parker. Margaret Parker was from Anstruther Scotland and Robert Craig Senior was from Wick,Scotland. I note that your Robert was born 1848 not 1849 as my Robert. What record have you got.
