This information has been useful for me too - thank you for doing the research;
I am a great-grandson of Mary Craig living in NW England, one of 3 from her eldest son, George Richard who sadly died as PoW in 1943 after the fall of Singapore in 1942.
He was L.Bdr. in R.Artillery and had previously survived Dunkirk.
His only child, my Mum was born in Bolton, married in Birmingham, and still lives independantly, in her 90's.She has told me of memories visiting her Grandma in Co. Durham when she was little.
Wow ! Love to meet you! Sounds like we are related ! I am also the great granddaughter of Mary Craig. My nana was Beatrice.  She sadly died a year before I was born.  I do know of George and I know about his story of being a POW in Burma.  He’s been well remembered in our family and we have several photos of him. I’d be happy to share them with you.

Wow thank you both for this invaluable information.  I’m the Great Great Grandaughter of Mary Jane Craig and Harry Blakeborough (England) I’ve really struggled to make the connection as to why Harry was in Northern Ireland.  I assumed he was working there due to his connection with horses and perhaps met Mary there however from reading this it appears that maybe they both spent time in Scotland and went back to Ireland to be wed before moving back to England to start a family .  They both died in Durham which is my home town. 
I am so grateful to find out more about Mary Janes family as I havent been unable to uncover  a lot so this is priceless thank you
