Hi Annie,

Can't connect these Crichtons with my Crightons from Dundee.  They could be mine but since they're all after 1865 and I can't find any of mine after that date - who knows

Cheers,

Al

Well you can always keep them "just in case" .....

Seemed to me Alexander was a contender!! - didn't you say something during June Challenge regarding "familiar territory"

Maybe I'm mistaken!!

Al - I REALLY think this is your Grandfather John b. 1897 - I think the sons-in-law are really stepsons and I think your great grandfather just liked "older women" - ANNIE is a wonderful name ......

Hi Annie,

Had a look at the genuki Dundee reference - looks interesting but nothing on line so it would mean a trip to Scotland (not likely this year  )

The Crightons you found in Bootle in 1901 were previously pointed out to me by Paul but I can't make a connection.  There are a couple of coinicidences however:

- The France connection
- The names John (pretty common) and Matilda (not so common) although my Matilda would have been 34 at the time of the 1901 census (I have her birth certificate).  Her parents were Alexander Crighton (b. 1824) and Matilda Jackson (b. 1833) and I have their marriage certificate.

How were you thinking that this lot fitted to mine?

Cheers,

Al

Can I ask you a question - before I set out my reply?

what do you know about Alexander?
