Thanks Mike and Holly for finding them in 1901. They used to use the Cragg name as they were known as The Cragg Brothers Acrobats. Edward Williams/Cragg grandmother was a Cragg.
Thanks again.

This is the family returning from abroad:

Although it says departure Montreal, the family embarked at New York.

Along with Edward was Emily (25), Amanda (2), Alfred (4)

Next on the list is a James Cragg (49) also an acrobat and wife Tilley (29).

Yes Roy I thought about that. Trouble is I cannot find her daughter Emily in any other census either to confirm maiden name.
Patricia.

Johnstone, Could be her name to a second marriage

Mary Anne Johnstone 15 ??? Born Madras, original image states age - 75

Hello All,
I was wondering if someone could help me with this one. In 1911 census Mary Anne Johnstone aged 75 years and a Widow birthplace could be Madres? It shows Mary Anne as mother in law. Mary Anne is residing with a Edward J Cragg Williams aged 48 years occupation Acrobat and born Manchester Lancashire. With Edward is his wife Emily and their children Alfred, Elizabeth and Auther.
I am unable to find Mary Anne Johnstone in any other census. I am assuming she is Emily's mother. Tried to find Emily born c1869 Truro Cornwall with a mother of Mary Anne but no luck.
I would greatly appreciate any help with this this query Thank You.
Patricia.
