Legs,
I'm related through marriage of Margaret Murray Hoatson born 1831, and John Somerville.
Have been to Crawfordjohn quite a few times - I live within 10 miles. It used to be much busier before the railways, as it was a crossroads of 4 coaching routes, but eventually has been sidelined.
It's also on WIKI -MAPS site, so you can get aerial photograph.
Someone has set-out Hoatson family tree going back to mid-1700s. Find it via Google search - 'Peasants to Puddles - my Family History by Nicky Rowberry', with some information from Claude Hoatson.
Cheers,
Miner49er
