So do you have your direct ancestors birth cert? This would give Mabels maiden name (and previous married name) £7 from gro online using this reference. I think you should buy it to confirm the mother as it may or may not be the Mabel shown on the 1851 census, who is a second wife.

Hi am trying to find some details on Edward Cragg and his children

The 1851 Census shows:
1. Edward Cragg living at Neuton Road in the village of Newton in the Parish of Whittington.
2. He is listed as Age 54 (which would make is year of birth about 1797) and born in Melling.
3. He is listed on the Census as a farmer owning 15 Acres of freehold land (most probably near the village).
4. He is married to a Mabel Cragg (Unknown maiden name)
5. He has five children:
o Edward Blackburn Cragg (aged 13) – This is my ancestor who came to Australia
o Thomas Cragg (aged 12) – Married an Ellen Shaw ?
o Mary Cragg (aged 9) – Married a Thomas Martin?
o William Cragg (aged 6) - ?
o Stephen Moorby (aged 20) – stepson


Does anyone have information on where Thomas, Mary, William & Stephen end up?
