Hi, I am looking for information about my direct ancestor Richard Cragg, Richard married Margaret Fordyce in abt 1810 (location not known). Margaret was born in 1794 in Unst, Richard was born 1776 in Mobberley they had their first child George in Unst around 1811. They then moved back to Richards home town of Mobberley in Cheshire. Richard died around 1830 in Mobberley and Margaret abt 1877 in Mobberley. Information we have about Richard says that he was a pensioner of the Peninsular wars.
We have, despite our best research efforts (including the wonderful bayanne site), been unable to find Richards parents and are looking for clues anywhere we can. We were hoping that there may be information about Richard and Margaret's life in Unst, their wedding or the christening of son George or any other information in Unst that may point to his next of kin etc. or indeed how Richard found his way up to Unst.
Regards
Tony
