Shame about Elizabeth - hopefully not another Greenwood Cemetery error.

Doris M Walsh - born 17 June 1941 - parents Alexander Smith, Mabel MacLeish Smith according to
obit

Alexander Smith was John B Smith son.  Mabel was the wife of Alexander Smith.

Sandra, that is the correct John Crawford in 1905 because he is living at 19 Beach St. In Manhattan and that is the address that  Margaret Telford was going to in 1906 when she emigrated!
John’s wife is Elizabeth, they are both 45 and have been in the USA 30 years. She is from England. John is a shipping clerk.
So Elizabeth died between 1905 and 1910 when he is a widower living with Margaret Telford. But not the Elizabeth who died October 14, 1907.

I think I have found the same couple in 1900 though they are at a different address which is Varick Street. John says born March 1854 and Elizad born January 1853 in England, says they have been married 19 years have had two children, but none are living. Amazing to finally find something.

Forgot to say that in 1900 John Crawford says he emigrated in 1874 and that his wife emigrated in 1859. They live in a rented house.

Can this be Eliza’s death? Age is wrong.

Might mean a telephone call to Calvary Cemetery to see what else is known about Eliza/Elizabeth Bodfield ? (Boatfield)

Or even trying to find the marriage certificate  ?

I think we have found our John Crawford‘s wife. Would be nice to find out more about John himself.

[Peggy13]

Calvary Cemetery says they do not have Elizabeth Crawford!
I found this for the marriage, and although the marriage says Eliz was born 1844, the death says 1865. I found a birth in Scotland for John Crawford in 1847 in Cocksburnpath with parents John Crawford and Sophia Crebbis.
