Also I believe that one of his brothers went to New Zealand. I wonder if we are talking aboiut the same James Cranston. I have a birth cert for James but I have never been able to find a death cert. James Cranston signed the marrage cert for my grandfather Robert Cranston in 1907 in Dublin. James wife was Mary Ann Smith. I know that there was an Isobella, Agnes, Annie and David so it could well be the same family. Where did you get the obituary ????. my e mail is [email protected] ps. my brother Robert and my son Gary both live in New Zealand. Regards David Cranston Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
