Welcome to this weeks Scavenger Hunt, It's Grandma's first go and I'm sure you'll be able to help her.
Good Luck and Good Hunting.

******************************
My gr. gr. grandparents, George Craig and Janet Paterson, were married Apr. 14 1811 in Hamilton. They had the following:
James Craig. May 12, 1816, Hamilton
Robert Craig, Aug. 26, 1820, Hamilton
George Craig, Nov. 16, 1828. Hamilton. This is my great grandfather.
I wonder if there were other children who died, considering the gaps in the births, and the fact that George Jr. comes last.
George Craig, b. 1828 m. Mary Fulton.(My gr. grandparents) I have all their information, but it would be great to find more about both James and Robert. Have tried a few times without sucess, and have let it drop.
But here is my brick wall.
On the 1841 census, Hamilton, George Craig, 12 years, Hand loom weaver, was living with Mary King, Ind. b. abt. 1774. Had George`s parents died?
From I was a little girl we always knew there were Fultons and Kings in our family. At one time I collared my old uncles asking for family information. They couldn`t agree on what their grandmother`s maiden name was. As it turned out it was Fulton so where does the King come in?
Why was George living with Mary King in 1841? Have tried finding deaths for George and Janet Craig and Mary King, as Scotlands People now have some of the OPR deaths with no results.
I have a Mary King who m. Robert Paterson. The banns were read in both Hamilton and Dalziel. Aug. 5, 1781 Could these be the parents of Janet Paterson.
Was George Craig living with his grandmother Mary King. Widows often used their maiden name, so it is possible.
As I live in Norway it`s not possible to visit the parishes to try to find information, so hoping some of you whiz kids can help me break down the wall, ( not asking for too much, I hope!!!)
Cheers,

Yes, I had a try there but not much hope, I`m afraid. Looks pretty dismal.

Hard to say if he is my James, b 1816. I have found so many Craig`s. But he is a weaver and if I remember correctly George Sr. was also a handloom weaver.
Will see if I can find him on a later census and hopefully a death, naming the parents.
Mary.

No he`s not my James. Going through some of my papers and I think I found him married, 1, Helen Robertson and 2, Janet Allen. Have his death in 1903 with parents, John Craig and Marion ?

Hi Bob.
Thanks for your reply. I have all that info for James right up to his death in 1903. Only trouble is, the parents are named as John Craig and Marion, cant make out her maiden name, but looks something like Sinclair. And my James parents were definitly George and Janet. Have this from George Jr: death cert.
As far as Robert goes I have nothing except his birth, 26 Aug. 1820. This I downloaded from Scotlands People.
SP has some more of the OPR for deaths up to 1855 now, but so far have not found anything there.
There is big gaps between the births of Robert, James and George and have wondered if there were others who died as infants.
On all 3 births rec. the parents are named, George Craig and Janet Paterson.
But thanks for giving it a try, I knew it wouldn`t be easy but had hoped for more results.
Cheers,
Mary

Hi Bob
Have been looking at the census and see that James is listed with wife Janet.
I have the copy of James and Helen Robertson. m.Mar 15 1846, Hamilton. This fro Scotlands People
Also have a marriage taken from Family Search For James Craig and Helen Robertson, Mar15, 1846. And a marriage for JamesCraig and Janet Allen Nov, 16 1860
On the death I have of James Craig 1903 it states he was m. to 1. Helen and 2 Janet. So far so good but it names parents John Craig and Marion.
Makes me wonder if this the wrong James right from the start, as no parents name on marriages to compare.
Sure would like to solve this one.
Mary

Had another good look at the 1841 census I have of a James Craig, living with Agnes Brown and daughters Isabella Craig, 5, Maria, 3 and Janet, 6 mo. all with surname Craig.
This James is a coal worker. I think there are 2 James, out there. Can anybody find the other one?
