Yes, I am so hoping it is the OP’s family!

So they should be on LOTS of shipping lists.

John WilliamS Cragg died in an accident 1931, his inquest mentions a daughter Kathleen WilliamS Cragg
A newspaper article of 1891 mentions a son Arthur aged 12, a daughter aged 16 and that John W Cragg had 15 ! children, all acrobats. His wife died six years ago (1885).

I do hope this is the family too,it looks good so hopefully......

He had 3 wives I think.

Caroline - haven’t found a death for her yet.  Think she was Caroline Harrop? But if so they weren’t acrobats at marriage in 1863
Then Amanda Noel - marriage?
And his probate has a wife Amy, I think she must be the one in 1911, as Amanda died 1909
