It was Leticia's father that was supposed to be a minister:

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!!!!

Christopher it might help to read through this thread:

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

Crawford was Leticia's married name so her father the minister probably had a different srname.

What now His surname could be anything If his successor was the Crawford who married Leticia we're flying otherwise we are stuck.

Yes Im sorry Christopher I made that about as clear as mud didnt I

All the info im getting is coming in dribs and drabs which I know is difficult

We dont know Leticias Surname before she married John Crawford nor have we any dates of birth or deaths for either.

Joe has a scrap of paper with 2 addresses on one says

L C
66 Premier Drive
Belfast

It could have been Leticias address but there again the surname Canning is a big part of the family so the C could be one of them.
Leticia died in Belfast..there again no dates but Joe remembers her as a small boy growing up in the 1960s but when his family came to England(1973) he cant remember if she was still alive

The other address is
53 Harding St
Belfast

Although not sure this is possibly the last known address of Thomas and Maria Burns(Their son Patrick married Janet Crawford/dau of John and Letecia in 1939 in Birmingham/England)

Thanks very much for your time Christopher

I know the last post was some time ago, but here goes.

I've recently uncovered my Crawford family and have a John Crawford, from 1911 Census:
John Crawford. Baptist. 21yrs. Upholster. Single. Born in County Down.

His parents (my Great Grandparents) were:-
William Crawford. Head. Baptist. 62yrs. Commercial Trader Tea. Married. Born in County Down.
Jane Crawford. Wife. Baptist. 62yrs. Married 43yrs (10 children, 7 alive). Born in County Down.

One of their children was born in Glasgow, Scotland - which suggests Scottish roots.

Maybe there is a connection?
