Hi Bill, this the Craggs in my family. My ggg grandparents adopted a son, his name was Arthur Craggs, 5 years old in 1881. They are, William and Eleanor Harrison Arthur Craggs born 1876, Darlington, Durham England His last name was changed to Harrison in 1891. He is listed on the census as Harrison. I am not sure what the story is here. I think that perhaps this may have been Eleanor's nephew from a brother or sister. I am still looking into this. What stumped me was that in 1881 he is listed on the census as son, then in 1891 it looked like they wrote serv... looked to be servant. But I did some talking to others and it looks like the enumerator who wrote the census had some bad handwriting, we did some checking and he is listed as their son. I will attach the notes given to me by a great helper. I hope this helps, Lori I have found this before - a relative not child of the family sometimes listed as servant although in 1891 Arthur is listed as HARRISON - maybe another little mistake by the enumerator!

Wow... I can believe you found that so fast. I am wondering why Henry might have been listed as a son, when William and Eleanor were around his age. Could he have been a brother?
