Parish Record of Marriage for John Cragg to Jane
« on: Saturday 06 August 11 16:14 BST (UK) »
*whoops, someone delete this for me as I posted in wrong area*

Hi, I need to find a Parish marriage record for John Cragg, born 1810 or 1811 to Jane Unknown born 1807-1808. Broth born in Sutton Bridge, Lincolnshire (is it Sutton Bridge or Wridge as i find both and unsure which is correct...?). Children are from 1833 so i can assume 1827-1833 would be the date. any idea how i can get this or order it?

I'm pretty sure John has no middle name as on the 1851 Census, he lists his Sons as Robert Carr, John and William and daughter as Jane so i assume the 2 Johns and William and daughter Jane have no middle name since he specifically put Robert's middle name. Also listed wife Jane as just Jane Cragg.

Hi
Not sure where you got their birthplaces as Sutton Bridge.
In 1851 John gives his birthplace as Dunnington Lincs & Jane's Frieston.
On later census he gives his birthplace as Quadring.
Baptism for John Cragg 18th March 1810 at Quadring parents William Cragg & Mary Bartram.(from Familysearch)

Hi
I doubt if the entry in the church register will give any you any more information.
After 1813 a baptism entry will give the father's occupation, sometimes an address but very often just the place i.e village where they lived.
It might be worth looking to see if the Craggs or the Hearsons had more children born after 1813. I did try & find marriages for Thomas & Sophia Hearson & William & Mary (Bartram) Cragg but no luck so far.
I have no idea why there are 2 film numbers for the Quadring baptisms, maybe the registers were re-filmed at some point.

So is there any way to get proof of this John being the father of Robert Carr Cragg? i am really hoping to get this tree back a couple more generations to try an link it with someone i found with 6000 Craggs in their tree and maybe even these people: http://www.users.on.net/~woolwash/cragg/engcragg1.htm

Hi
Just been on Findmypast crosschecking possible marriages.

BARTRAM    Mary    1807       Donington    Lincolnshire    5 credits    CRAGG    William    1807       Donington    Lincolnshire    5 credits

HEARSON    Thomas    1802       Freiston    Lincolnshire    5 credits
WOOD    Sophia            1802       Freiston    Lincolnshire    5 credits

I think the evidence you already have is pretty conclusive that the John born Quadring is Robert Carr Cragg's father. Do you know when John died he might have left a will. I'll see if I can find anything on Ancestry. Might also be worth looking to see if William & Mary Cragg & Thomas & Sophia Hearson appear on a census.
