Crawford birth in Belfast...please

[Sisterjane]

Hi all

Im completley out of my depth on this one but I hope with your help I can find something!

A lot of you will have heard of my long suffering partner Joe..well he has been asking me for years if I could do a bit of his family tree for him and ive kept telling him how hard Irish family history is to trace especially when the info is as scant as what he has.....so this is the longest shot ive ever come across...

He has....wait for it..

Janette(or Janet) Crawford b Belfast(Married a Patrick Burns 1939 in Birmingham/Warwickshire)
Her Mother Leticia Crawford who lived most her life in Belfast but could have been born Dumbarton/Scotland..and Leticias father was a minister!!!!Thats it..no nothing else..no DOBs zilcho!!!!

I will thank you all now just for reading this let alone spending time on it
 
Thanks

Jane

Could be worse actually- my grandfather's family came from somewhere in Co. Londonderry where there were green hills and a river but his sister couldn't remember the name of the place!
Have you tried looking for a birth for Letitia Crawford in Dumbarton area in Scotland? and could she have been in Scotland for  1891 and 1901 census?
Letitia's father the minister- any idea what religion? and would he have been in Scotland or Ireland? Also, was Letitia's maiden name Crawford or was that her married surname?

Hi..Ive managed to find another scrap or two to add to this info

Janet P Crawford was born 1917 in Belfast

Father John Crawford-Mother Leticia ? both beleived to be born in Dunbartonshire/Scotland

Not much more but hey yer never know!!

Forgot to add that John and Leticia were protestants...

Would John and Leticia have been married in Scotland? Think Scotland's People is the place to start searching for the family. If you can get the marriage of John and Leticia you will get an idea of their ages, parent's names, etc. and then someone could check Scottish census records (on Ancestry).
