Firstly, thank you to everyone who has posted about the Crawford families of Lisnagrib. I still need to go through all my paperwork to double -check but am very interested in the possible link between the William Crawford I have on our tree and the family of Thomas Crawford and Catherine Henry. My mother-in-law has always said that there were some cousins in the US or Canada so maybe Sarah Jane is the link? Who knows?
Then onto your post, Rob: thank you for your comments. This is what I know: I have a copy of the original 1911 transcript and the age of Margaret is definitely 24. She was born 08/06/1886 and I have a copy of her birth certificate. I agree the L could be a G but I ignored that as I have seen their details and signatures for the Ulster Covenant which they signed in Coleraine giving 6 Margeretta Terrace as their address. The only problem is that I have never been able to find when William Crawford the husband of Rachel died. He was alive and living in Lisnagrib in 1901 but by 1911 Rachel is a widow.
Abraham Thomas Wharton was born in Cluincarrig Killorglin Kerry. He married Margaret Lindsay Crawford 05/07/1916 Ballywatt Ballyrashane Co Antrim. They lived in Donegal where they had 3 children. Margaret died in 1926.
I need to find out who else was living at Lisnagrib in the 1901 census. I know that Catherine and Martha Crawford were living at no 1 in 1911 but have misplaced my 1901 info.
Best wishes to all
Scarbro
