Just started to research the Cram family tree. Would love to know more about the individuals. Have gone back to George Cram in 1645 but for about 5 gens have no spouse names or siblings. We know that a nephew or 2 of this James came out to Australia. Many thanks |

My 3 times great grandfather James Cram immigrated from Northumberland, England about 1858-60 to Newcastle, NSW then lived and worked at Wollongong till his death. Patrick & Alicia Cram's comment about this James who died in the mining accident in 1828, having nephews who came out to Australia. This piqued my interest as his father was William Cram (1781-1854)and James was born in Nov 1828 which could tie in with it being close family. I am looking for William's parents and siblings if anyone can help with this. Many thanks |
