Thomas Crawford d. 21 September 1863 and family


dawn   22 Apr 2010 

I'm working on my step dad's family line. He is 83. I was doing the censuses for 1841, 51, 61 and so on. There are several Thomas Crawford's and I found the others in the later census' but not the one I was looking for. Here he IS!

Tracing the family history in England as we live in British Columbia Canada. My daughter Dawn Koeppel is doing the research and has probably listed her email address in Lynnwood Washington USA but I would like to be on the list. Thomas Crawford is related to my husband Ron.

Thomas Crawford as above,was my Great Great Grandfather - and we still live within 10 miles of the site of the colliery.My Father did a little research using local records before he died as most of the surviving children remained local. A daughter Jane married Thomas Buckham (who started work at the pit in 1854 aged 9yrs) and had 11 children, 6 of which died in infancy, a sad but common occurrance given the living conditions of these families in the 19th century.
