Hello Maggie,
Lovely top hear from you.  The Crockart family are on my husbands side and as yet I have not done a lot of research however this is what I do have:
William Crockart   born circa. 1780 – 8   married  Ann Grigor
Thier son William - b 27 July1813   d. 14 January 1870  m.  1 November 1834 Elisabeth Smith  b 10 October 1809 in Couper Angus Perthshire
Thier children were -

William   b. 2 March 1836
Hugh      b. 18 November 1838
Ann      b. 10 January 1841
Elisabeth   b. 16 April 1843
Ann      b. 19 March 1846       d. 15 June 1937 m James FENTON
Margret   b. 30 October 1848

Ann and James FENTON were my husbands great great grandparents.   I do have a photo of Ann taken not long before she died.   If you still feel that this family link into your Crockarts I would be happy to share the photo with you.   Please email me on *

Kind regards

Hi Prue
I now have a little more detail about this photo -

the photo is in sepia
there is no photographers name on it
the photo measures 27mm x 46 mm and is attached to a 33mm x 59mm card which is about 1mm thick.    The reverse of the card appears as a natural to very light brown colour and the front is the same, tending toward faded off-white.   Edges of the card are gold.  The corners of the card are rounded.

The family member who has the original photo suggests that the subject could be standing in front of a portrait in a big frame and also suggests that the "interesting belt, clasp and buttons" on that person in the background may be identifiable.

I hope this goes some way toward helping more closely date the photo
Regards,
Viv

I hope the photo is attached this time :)This photograph is of one of two Scottish ancestors  -  father and son and both had the same christian names so we are unsure which one this photograph is of.

The first lived between 1815 & 1863 and the second lived between 1843 and 1891.   

I am hoping there is sufficient detail in the clothing to enable dating.

He appears to be standing in front of a monument of a uniformed male.

Thankyou

'morning Dotty,

On the 1901 Census he was living at home, 176 Wavertree Rd, West Derby with his family - he was aged 11.

On the 1911 Census - looking back on my notes I thought I had found him in this census under the name of William Thomas Willis, however recent searches have found that there was an error in the records in that two children were recorded to the same parents - one William Henry the other William Thomas.    The end result was that the child born to our family was William Henry so I have not yet found him in the 1911 Census.   

We have photos of him at Rainhill alongside his brother who also worked there and we have photos of them in army uniform - names on the back fortunately.

Many thanks,   Viv

'morning Dotty,  yes, I have tried Army (he is in an Army uniform in the photo) and I have tried passenger lists.   I don't subscribe to any sites so I dont get far with searches such as Ancestry etc.

Thanks,  Vivwill
