I don't usually forward information on just the surname, with no further identification, but this may help someone. Misses CRERAR is listed as a 'Misses', not a 'Mesdames'. There may be a link between the ROBERTSON listed with her or maybe there isn't. There is also a'Messr' CRERAR. Perhaps he's a young son, or even her father - I have no information on him.

In this treatise is a mention of a long time friend, John CRERAR, nothing about his life, but a mention of his memorial window : ..."He paid for a memorial window to John Crerar, who was one of his close friends, at the Second Presbyterian Church in Chicago. (Crerar Memorial Window. Chicago Inter Ocean, Oct. 1, 1893.)"...

Widow of Henry Hatton Crerar; daughter of William Willmar Burke and Sarah Jane Hunter, Kathleen is remembered and loved by her family: sons Bill (husband of the late Susan) of Toronto, and Tony (Maureen) of Vancouver; and her seven grandchildren (and twelve great-grandchildren): Kathryn and James Kirkland (Ben and Megan), Lauren and Mark Linton (Samantha and Alexandra), Steven and Lynne Crerar (Harrison, Alexander, and Caelan), and Andrew Crerar; David and Julia Crerar (Harry and Kathleen Philippa), Suzanne and Dean Wolf (Julian, Layla, and Kirby), and Carolyn and Sean Wharton. Kathleen will also be dearly remembered by her Burke, Bennett, McRae, Hardisty and Bailey, nieces and nephews, and her many friends. Kathleen was born in Vancouver on May 4, 1908. She grew up in Burnaby near the now-named Burke Street. She was a primary school teacher, receiving her training at the Vancouver Normal School. Kathleen taught in Burnaby and Vancouver before her marriage to Hat on New Year's Day 1936. Later, she taught kindergarten at Athlone School in Kerrisdale for many years before retiring to Beach Grove, Tsawwassen. She played golf and bridge into her nineties, maintained her own home until her mid-nineties, and kept her wit and humour to the end. In her final years she resided at Crofton Manor in Kerrisdale. The family would like to thank all of the staff at Crofton Manor for their care and attention. At her request, no service will be held.

Found this yesterday in the St. Cuthbert's [Edinburgh] OPRs. They were amazingly full of information, so I'd offered to do some lookups. There's always bits to stumble across everywhere we look.

I understand this can mean the ceremony did not take place in St. Cuthbert's but in another parish].

Hi there James, James Henry Crerar ,born Meikleour, baptised Caputh, Perthshire, Scotland, December 1800, died 16 September 1860,buried Kamptee India, was my gggg grandfather. Contact me for further details. Was recently up in Perthshire trying to find details of his parents Gilbert Crerar and Barbara Rattray with no success but it was good to see the beautiful area he was from. regards Pauline in Wiltshire

Anyone who has information of a CRERAR and a STEWART in their research please sing out. The family started in Scotland and ultimately settled in Manitoba, Canada via Ontario. Period ...? circa 1800 -> Confirmation of further details to be added as an update. Thanks, James.

Received this today since it had the word CRERAR in it. This time its the middle name of a man in London who died recently, James Crerar REANEY.

He was a Sergeant in the Madras European Regiment. He arrived in India in 1819 and reinlisted on 2 March 1829. His ship arrived on Surry (?). It is believed that James married three times. James Henry Crerar married Elizabeth Gray 22 May 1821 at St. Andrews Church, Madras Presidency [N/2/13 f8].

Edith Margaret King Crerar (Eurasian) married John 16 November 1887 at Christ Church Jubbulpore [Jabalpur, N. of Chhindwara]. Her father William Crerar was listed on marriage certificate as dead. An internet posting records that: John Dalrymple Callender was born in Devon and joined the Royal Warwickshire regiment in the 1880s and was posted to Jubbulpore There he met and married Edith King Crerar and they proceeded to have many children in a variety of army locations including Jubbulpore, Mooltan, Colombo, Kandy, Malta and Dublin, finally returning to the UK between 1905 -1910, when his son of the same name as himself married in Lichfield. He appears to have continued to serve in the army getting a medal in 1914 and then moving to the Royal Worcestershire Reserve Battalion.

Hallo fellow CRERAR researchers. I have just joined this List as I am in search of information about my great great great grandfather James Henry Crerar from the Dunkeld area of Perthshire, who joined the Madras European Regiment of the East India Company and went to India on the ship 'Surry' in 1819. Other descendants give his parents as Gilbert Crerar and Barbara Rattray. Slight variations regarding his age on the records I have found in the British Library have cast a slight shadow of doubt in my mind. He was born between 1799 and 1801. Researches on Scotlandspeople show that the James, son of Gilbert and Barbara was from Mickleour and was baptised with his twin brother William on 21.12.1800 in Caputh. However there was another James Crerar son of Donald Crerar and Catharine Anderson baptized in Kenmore 08.06.1799 and also James Crerar son of James Crerar and Elizabeth Anderson baptized in Weem 03.041799. I would like confirm that Gilbert Crerar and Barbara Rattray really are my James's parents. He is said to have had a brother John and a sister Elizabeth. I would also love to know what happened to his siblings and whether there are any descendants. Also anything about the recruitment in Scotland by the East India Company. I look forward to hearing from anyone who might be able to help. Many thanks in anticipation. Pauline in Wiltshire,England
