Looking for info on my grandfather, Jean CRAWFORD Lackie. Would anyone on this list know anything that relates to my grandfather? I just wonder where my grandfather's middle name CRAWFORD came from? Sounds like a family name. I wonder was it? And if so, was it from the father's side or mother's side? My g-grandfather's name was John Lackie (spelled Lackey in one document) and all I know about him was he was b. November 1859 in New York, NY. According to the census he was married once before his marriage to my g-grandmother, Luvena (?) M. Lavigne. My g-grandmother was born in VT and her parents were French Canadian. My g-grandparents were m.1891 in Waterbury, CT. They had 3 children that I know of (have a picture). Jean (my grandfather), James, and Mary. John Lackie had another child, Mamie, from his first marriage. She was b. December 1880 in New York, NY. My maiden name was Lackie and it has been my most difficult name to track. Beyond my father, John Robert Lackie (b. March 12, 1916 Boston, MA; d. July 13, 1981 in Newark, DE), I have very little. My g-father's name was Jean CRAWFORD Lackie (b. May 1892 in Waterbury, CT). He m. my g-mother, Irene Winona Sandiford, September 21, 1915 in Fairfield, CT and left her around 5 years later. The story is (according to my father's cousin, with whom he was raised) that Jean (sometimes called Bobbi/Bobby) worked at a newspaper (CT or MA), met and ran off with a senator's daughter. When he left my g-mother she had given birth to 4 children (2 were twins). They died, the second youngest died of smallpox, and then my dad, who was the oldest, remained as the only child. He was raised by an aunt while my g-mother went to New York to work. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
