Hi Lori, Following on from Helen's 1861 census findings, Eleanor's parents William and Jane and various siblings mentioned in 1861 would also appear to be in Darlington on the 1881 census: William CRAGGS Head M Male 59 Aycliffe, Durham, England Railway Engine Driver Jane CRAGGS Wife M Female 58 Blackwell, Durham, England Margaret CRAGGS Daur U Female 26 Muggleswick, Durham, England William CRAGGS Son U Male 22 Muggleswick, Durham, England Engine Fitter At Works Robert CRAGGS Son U Male 20 Muggleswick, Durham, England Engine Fitter (Apprentice) Source Information: Dwelling 18 Anns Terrace Census Place Darlington, Durham, England Family History Library Film 1342176 Public Records Office Reference RG11 Piece / Folio 4889 / 40 Page Number 38 I think the Blackwell mentioned for the birthplace of Jane Craggs is an area of Darlington - perhaps someone can confirm this? ..............................................................

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

Ann, I think you found them!!!! The last family on the bottom has all the members that seem to fit in the family. Elenor, John, Jane, and Margeret were siblings. This has to be them, it fits with the birth dates and the people in town and living on the same street. I would guess the other one at the top to be their grandparents, William and Margaret because of their age and location to the family on the end, an oldest son still living at home. The family in the middle, uncle, aunts and cousins would be a guess. Great work Anne, thanks a million Lori ----- Original Message ----- From: Anne Hamilton<mailto:annehamilton@ntlworld.com> To: ENG-DURHAM-L@rootsweb.com<mailto:ENG-DURHAM-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2004 8:23 AM Subject: Re: [ENG-DUR] Re: CRAGGS Hi Lori, Following on from Helen's 1861 census findings, Eleanor's parents William and Jane and various siblings mentioned in 1861 would also appear to be in Darlington on the 1881 census: William CRAGGS Head M Male 59 Aycliffe, Durham, England Railway Engine Driver Jane CRAGGS Wife M Female 58 Blackwell, Durham, England Margaret CRAGGS Daur U Female 26 Muggleswick, Durham, England William CRAGGS Son U Male 22 Muggleswick, Durham, England Engine Fitter At Works Robert CRAGGS Son U Male 20 Muggleswick, Durham, England Engine Fitter (Apprentice) Source Information: Dwelling 18 Anns Terrace Census Place Darlington, Durham, England Family History Library Film 1342176 Public Records Office Reference RG11 Piece / Folio 4889 / 40 Page Number 38 I think the Blackwell mentioned for the birthplace of Jane Craggs is an area of Darlington - perhaps someone can confirm this? ..............................................................
