I will throw in my 2 cents worth. In FreeBMD, there is a John Mason died in 1862 in Whitby. There are others in other years... -- Glen Johnson Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wmjohnson1832 -----Original Message----- From: patkinson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2005 12:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ERY] Handwriting Problem Hi Doug, The EYFHS translation of 1861 census has it as CRICK. However it does look like CREAK. If there is no trace of either then I would certainly go for CROOK. I looked in the 1851 census for Yorks and there is no mention of John Mason (52).
