Hello Rita.

Then I believe I have the correct family in 911 census.

And correct parents marriage.

But his birth cert will confirm it

Do you need more help or can you take it from there?

Name: William Williams Craggs
Year of Registration: 1885
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec

With what please Rita?

Do you want the census going back?
You tell us exactly what you would like and we will do our best.

had a reply from a gent called trebo that gave a link too his tree, he gave me robert craggs d.o.b 1750, says it my great great great grandad. this all new to me. how do link my grandad william to robert. where do i look.

You will need to follow William back through the census,then his father to get that far back to see if it is correct.
You may have to buy some certificates along the way to verify everything.
Start with the 1911 census that I have posted and work back from there.

You cant just jump from William Craggs 1885 to Robert Craggs 1750 without the bit in between to prove it all.

Trebo may well be right,but wouldnt you like to see how?
To know it is so?

William Craggs 15
Jane Craggs 12 born USA

I will leave you in Ficks very capable hands for now as it looks as though she is going to go for it and try to get the link.

Are you Flick?

I will look in later to see how its going?

Too many cooks and all that?

I can't see him in 1891 - possibly in the States.

The birth cert for William (1885) will probably be needed to find father's details

I'll be around for 20 mins or so....................

Hope I wasn't treading on your toes FBG - not my intention

And the 1890 census of US has only about 1% that has survived I think,so he wont be found on it I dont think.

Maybe passenger lists?

I will check.

The births of the children are a little out,but I do think it is them coming in.

Edit.
I like working with you Flick,you are to the point,which I like.

The birth cert is now absolutely vital

I'd love to know how trebo worked his way back to 1750!!!!!

So would I Flick,so would I !

Shall we ask him to come tell us?

I'm going to have to go now - duty calls.

But I'll check in later to see how things are progressing
