The John (Jack) CRAGGS I am seeking was born in Prudhoe , Northumberland 20 February 1881. In 1891 he and his family were at 42 Legrams Lane, Listerhills, Bradford In 1901 their address was 23 Rosebery Road, Bradford and Jack was an assistant in a café. He didn't marry or have any children - we've searched high and low with as many variations as we can think of in 1911 but to no avail. He and his father apparently did not see eye to eye but we think he was probably in the Bradford district - possibly working for an antique dealer? When Mum matriculated in 1920 he gave her 2 pictures which are now hanging in our lounge here in New Zealand. Later Great Uncle Jack had an antiques and collectibles shop in Tenby, Pembrokeshire but communication with other family members ceased over time. He was held in great respect by the antiques trade and, I believe, is still quoted as an authority on some period furniture by MALLETT Antiques of London & New York although he has been dead for 43 years. Thank you for your interest Ann, Margaret & Lin Regards Mabel in NZ

I couldn't find him anywhere in 1911 either.
