The first set listed, are the parents with the ramaining youngest children, the next one is Thomas and his wife with their children. One of the oldest boys who moved out and began a family. The last is the original family with all the children from 1861. Thank you everyone. I am awaiting the mail on Arthur Craggs and will update you all when I find who his parents were. From what I can gather Eleanor and William did not have children but adopted Arthur, their only child. His birth parents are in the Craggs family. I think one of her sisters had a child for her since she and William could not have one on their own. We will wait and see who that sister is. I am guessing either Mary or Margeret. Interesting how it all came together. Once again, everyone thank you a million times over. You are are the best!

Looking at Thomas' family on the 1881 census above he has called one of his daughters Jane Burral Craggs - coincidence or not?
