> I'll give a look for that name - how did you find her birth?

just search for birth for each child and look for the same maiden name appearing

Honestly, you people are incredible.  I don't know how you do it.  I wish I was half the researcher you guys are.  I'm still baffled at how quickly you figured it all out while I had spent ages doing everything I could think of.

AHH!  It's all falling into place!  I've been working on this side of the family for YEARS and you guys advanced me in mere minutes!  I hope to one day be as good as you!

Can I ask what the difference in date of birth is for my great-grandfather?

His death certificate lists it as February 8 1895, but looking at the GRONI entry for the Robert Craig born to Agnes Herron, it's listed as February 4 1895. 

Please tell me this is something that happens, and this isn't another Craig entirely..

Very, very common even in more recent times. A cousin of my father has one date on his birth certificate, another date of birth in baptismal register with a third one in the family Bible yet his mother always insisted that all dates were incorrect!
