I have a bit of very sad information on the family if it is of interest.

I would be very interested in any information that is relevant to my families history, I am getting on in years and need to document and pass on as much of our history as I can to the next and following generations before it is lost.

The Craigs were Church of Ireland and attended St. Paul's in Garvagh- this photo taken in 2019.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/16132340@N07/49147783388
The new entrance (shown in photo) is at the back of the church away from the road- the reason being it was handier for Lord Garvagh, his family (the Cannings) and servants to come into the back from the adjoining big house to attend services. Garvagh House was demolished to build the former Garvagh High School and the last few holders of the title have been based in England since the house and estate were sold.

This transcription of the stones shows only 1 Craig headstone but may belong to a different Craig family-

The Craigs lived at Ballynameen, or Ballinameen, just south of St. Paul's-

This is probably what it looked like when Susan Craig left-

aghadowey, thank you very much for this amazing amount of information and detail of Susan's family, this sort of information is invaluable.
Regards
McFab

If I could ask a question about Susan and John Thomas Whitfield's children, Sarah Ann born 1908 & George Henry born 1910 in Lanarkshire, Glasgow. Is it unusual for births not to be registered in Scotland. I have searched Scottish People without success and failed to find any references, in Ancestry, Family Search or Find my Past, but they is a reference to their place of birth on the 1911 Census. I'm wondering if they may not have been registered

scotmum, thank you very much, being a Whitfield and these being my Uncles and Aunties, I stayed within those parameters - (my Dad was the youngest of 5)

I didn't think to look at name variations. With the correct spelling in the 1911 Census, I just stuck with that. This information and the info supplied to me on Susan, completes that generation, the other 3 children were all born in Australia
I can't express how happy I am that you have found this.
