CRAZE Information if anyone wants it

[cornish maid]

Hiyah CP,

So glad you're on the mend.  You did indeed send me the Craze information, thank you very very much for that.  I have passed it on to my cousin who's concentrating on that side of the family.  I'll let you know if she comes up with any connections with it. 

I am so sorry if I didn't reply to your email, I'm usually really good at replying.  I must have been having a senior moment (they are getting more frequent    )
lol.  Huge huge apologies if I didn't.

Now, on to the Williams side, I will have to investigate further.  My dad is still in touch with a couple of the Williams family, I'll set him on the trail and see if any of them know anything about Ellen.  Will get back to you as soon as I find something.  Oh, don't you just love a mystery.   

Hugs back

Hi Bex,

Yes, I'm on the mend thanks.  I'm sure you did reply but I think it's ME  ::)having the senior moment hahahahaha.  I had emailed it to a number of different people but was concerned that I hadn't emailed it to you.  LOL.

Yes, I do love mysteries but I also like them to come to an end ROFL.

I phoned my Aunty last night (their day time) and she had just come home from hospital so couldn't talk - she was zonked out from the anaesthetic.  Poor darling.  Anyway, I said I would call her in about a week.  Hope she can come up with something regarding Ellen Williams or any other names that may help you.

Hugs

Hello all!  I am researching my maternal ancestry and having a rough time of it so far!  The furthest back I can get is my great, great grandmother Sara J. Humphrey (nee Crase).  I have no records of her last name spelling so far, it's by verbal family lore.  Here is what I do know:
Born 1847, died 1931
Married to James Humphrey
Lived in Corning, NY from *at least* 1881 to her death.
9 children, dont' have the names here with me, but I can post them later.

I suspect she's a transplant from elsewhere, since there is only one Crase buried in Corning NY (in the same cemetary, with is interesting)  CRASE, Francis C   , Born  1891 , Died  1892 .

Does this ring a bell for anyone?  Could I have a look at any Crase genelogies to see if there's a connection?

Thank you all!

Hi Bex

I finally received the information from my Aunty in South Africa.

Your asked me about an Ellen WILLIAMS, who was a sister of Thomas James WILLIAMS.

It appears that my Ella Mary WILLIAMS' father was Thomas James WILLIAMS so he could be your Ellen's brother.  Unfortunately, she did not give me any other details about Thomas J. Williams  (baptised 25/12/1852 but born 1848), so I am starting the search myself.  You also mentioned "South Africa" - well these WILLIAMS ancestors did emigrate to South Africa.  The plot thickens

Please let me know (if you know) when your Thomas James WILLIAMS was born.  I will let you know if I find he had a sister Ellen because I am now trying to track down HIS parents and siblings etc.

Hugs
