My GGGGGF "George Crawford" died in 1850, so the one you listed is likely his son, or grandson.

His wive Olivia ran the estate for the 30 years until she died in the 1880s

Valuation listings from the 1860s show another George Crawford owning nearby land, so its likely Olivia left the estate to him? (making him the first born?)

Hello Nick,

It looks as if Olivia Crawford, born 1802 Dublin, was a daughter of Robert Henry of Dalkey Lodge, Kingstown, near Dublin, and his wife Katherine Olivia Elder, born Newry, Co Down. George Crawford was born c1788 so may have been married previously. According to Olivia's will (PRONI), she and George had two surviving children, Katherine Robert "Kate" Crawford (wife of Robert Augustus Macrory) and George Crawford (married Isabella Lund).

It also looks as if Olivia's first marriage was to Capt James Gaston, who died in Co Cork in 1833, just a few months after their marriage. I haven't been able to find out who James Gaston's parents were, or whether there was a child born after his death. Since his marriage and death were announced in the Londonderry Sentinel, he might have been from that area.

Hi Nanette and David,
Nanette - Do you have the photos of all three Chapman/Heine/Hitchcock gravestones at Marlow? There are other Hitchcock/x gravestones at Marlow but I haven't found them yet.
David - Do you have a Martha Hitchcock (the surname was spelled Hitchcok/ck/cks/x in the various records) born about 1779 in your family records? Although she married in London, as mentioned in an earlier posting, I suspect that she was part of the same family as yours. There are no Marmadukes in this line though.

Nicola and Meryll – and all,

I wonder if the Mary Hitchcock who died in Marlow in 1827, aged 1, was the first daughter born to Marmaduke Hitchcock and Eliza Mary Heine and baptised 5 January 1826.

The couple’s second daughter, born 1827, was called Maria. (Eliza Mary Heine’s mother Elizabeth had two sisters, once called Mary and the other Maria.)

Was there also a Menella Chapman Hitchcock baptised in Marlow in 1833?

There was another Hitchcock in the family: the wife of Elizabeth, Maria and Maria’s brother Thomas Chapman was Martha Hitchcock (c1778-1839). They married (ref IGI Batch M022421) on 17 October 1799 at St Bride, Fleet St. (both 21 or over; bachelor of Aylesbury; spinster of St Bride Fleet Street; By Licence; witnesses Samuel (?poss Pearson or Guildhall suggests "P[enman] (barely legible)", Mary White & Thomas Davies. This is my direct line.

So far, I haven’t been able to link Martha Hitchcock with Marmaduke Hitchcock/x. Has anyone found a Martha Hitchcock/x anywhere, possibly Oxfordshire, London, Aylesbury or Marlow? There were several other Hitchcocks married at St Bride Fleet Street about the same time: Sarah H married George Hodge in 1799; Samuel H married Elizabeth Shove in 1800; Elizabeth H married Edward Terry of Aylesbury 1801.

Meryll - The link in your message includes the name Hodge, so maybe the George Hodge above was a relative of Martha Hitchcock Chapman. It also includes the name Huxtable – and there was a Menella Mary Huxtable born in 1898 in West Buckland, Devon.

Thanks for all your postings.
