Hi everyone, I'm new to the list and researching the Craft and Towell (Towill) families. I'm having some difficulty locating census records for the family (Ancestry) over several years which is making it difficult to confirm some of the details I've gathered so far. Here are some names - if anyone has a link to or knowledge of these folks feel free to get in touch. John George Craft b 20 Dec 1889 Shoreditch, Middlesex, married Ethel Constance Towell b. about 1900 - I believe John's parents were William James Craft b 1856 Shoreditch & Susannah Pethers b 1859 Shoreditch - I think John's father was Alfred Charles Craft b 1828 Shoreditch, but having trouble confirming his mother but I believe her first name was Elizabeth. There seems to be more than a few Crafts around and I'm having trouble sorting one from another. John George Craft and Ethel Constance Towell came to Canada before 1925. Sometime after they became known as Croft instead of Craft. Thanks very much! Vicki

Vicki I can see the marriage on Free BMD in 1920 in Edmonton Middlesex this doesn't show on Ancestry London marriages unfortunately I can also see on Find My Past their departure from Southampton to Halifax 6 Aug 1923 Both these say CROFT. Can't see him on 1911 census Ordering the marriage certificate would confirm parents names.
