Hi, I'm new to this thread, but since I'm a Crighton and my dad is from England, I thought I should get in on this. My grandad is Clifford Crighton, and his father was Samuel Crighton. Samuel fought in World War I.
I just received a picture of him today from 1917. I don't know where I can go from there. I don't know much more about that side of the family. If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

Hi Fellow Crighton,
Welcome to Rootschat! If your g grandfather fought in WWI it's very possible that he would appear in the 1901 census. I've found 3 Samuel CRIGHTONs in the 1901 census, 2 of whom would have been of the right age to have fought in WWI:
Samuel CRIGHTON, Living in Bootle, Lancashire, aged 10, born Seacomb, Cheshire, Father: Richard C CRIGHTON (born Liverpool)
Samuel CRIGHTON, Living in Bournmouth, aged 11, born Portsmouth, Father: George CRIGHTON (born Kent)
Could either of these be your g grandfather?
The National Archives site (www.nationalarchives.gov.uk) has 2 WWI campaign medal cards for Samuel CRIGHTON, one from the Argyl & Southern Highlanders and one from the Army Service Corps, Cheshire Regiment Territorial Force.
Regards,
Al

Hello Annie,
We-e-ell ...
I do tend to be a bit careful and not advertise, on RootsChat, any other bulletin board which covers an area which is already covered by RC (I mentioned the other site in my PM for a specific reason). However, I'm sure that RC is so big and so big-hearted that nobody will mind at all

Hi Kathleen,
Sorry for not replying sooner, I haven't been on Rootschat for a while. Do you have any dates (Birth, Marriage) for your grandfather? As you'll see from this thread, my ancestors left Dundee around 1866 so if we are related, the link would probably be a couple of generations further back from your grandfather.
Let me know what information you have and I'll see what I can find.
Regards,
Al
ps I made a breakthrough this week on locating my ancestors in France! The 10 year BMD indexes for the North of France have just become available on line and I managed to find the birth records for two of my G Grandmother's brothers. These indexes are for a specific town so I'm owrking my way out from Dunkirk town by town to see what else I can find.
