Craig Family, HELP!
« on: Tuesday 12 April 05 23:22 BST (UK) »
I am trying desperately to find emigration (or ANY) information on Thomas Craig. The Westen Canadian Craig's have been extremely difficult to trace. The only information I have is his wife's name (Christian Grant Hynes), and their son's information, which is Noble John Craig, Born 17 July, 1906, Pincher Creek, Alberta, Canada. Died 04 March, 1983. Any suggestions or leads would be appreciated

Hello

if you go to this site and search for Thomas Craig you will find the following
http://www.agsedm.edmonton.ab.ca/1901census/

CRAIG, Thomas  View Transcribed Page       View District Map       View NAC Microfilm 
head  Age: 35  Born: 1865  Birth Place: Ireland 
  District: 202  Sub-District: Pincher Creek  Sub-District #: m(3) 
    Map Ref: G-11  Film Number: T-6551 
Page: 12  Line: 17     

If you click on the View NAC Microfilm link you will see the actual census page - he immigrated in 1874 and is single 

This should be him in the 1891 Alberta Census
1891 Census - Districts #197 and #199 in Southern Alberta: Cr
CRAIG, Thomas M 26 Ireland RC Rancher C3
 
This is likely him in 1881 in the Canadian Census

I grew up close to Pincher Creek and have family there - are you in contact with any of the Craigs there? If you are interested I can ask my aunt to check around in the local history books there.
