Hi Ruthy, my Great Grandfather was James (1876). I really need to go away and digest what you have just sent; it is really interesting thank you.
It is my mum’s cousin that has done most of the research on this, so I have let him know I have found someone.
He has quite a bit of information on all of the children; some detailed, some a bit patchy. I have just spoken to him and he had spoken to Evelyn in the past to find out more, I am guessing that probably means something to you, and he has a fairly good collection of information for Herbert and his line. You may be on it!
The pit reference was for Roger, he died aged 16 at Eppleton Pit, and it’s on the Durham mining museum website
Craggs, Roger, 03 Jul 1900, aged 16, Stone putter, and when putting stones he caught timber, and was so severely injured that he died within half an hour.
I have put my email address on my profile if you want to communicate via email at all, not sure if this is allowed on here. Or if you’d prefer I can continue on this thread. Not sure how much current ish information people like on here?
There are references to USA for John, and Australia for Beatrice, and all sorts you might be interested in. All my information is on sheets of A4 so I need to type up more of it.
Let me know what is best and I’ll get some more too you either way.
Thanks, Doug
