West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / Archibald CRAIG
« on: Monday 22 June 15 22:16 BST (UK)  »
I am searching for records of my Great Grandfather Archibald Craig.  He has become a bit of a mystery re his birth, mystery parents as well it would seem.  I have found a lot and this is the story so far. 
His name: Archibald Craig. Age 25 Pit Contractor Married Annie Smith 1 Mar 1878 Armdale. His parents John Craig (Pit Contractor), Jean Stewart. Her parents James Smith (Underground Manager), Ann Mitchell.
1881 Census sees him in Bathgate working as an Iron Miner. Date of Birth 1854 abt Bothwell.
1891 Census sees him in Whitburn. Coal Miner. date of birth 1853 abt Old Monkland, Lanarkshire.
1901 Census sees him in Blackridge as Colliery Brushery. Date of birth 1855, Stevenston Ayshire. From here I lose him, until 1911. Where I have found him in Nova Scotia on a census name as Creig.  I have a photo of a headstone in Brookside Cemetery 1919.  Can't find when 1904-05 the family emigrated to Canada, but most of them did.  I lost his wife Annie after the 1901 census as well, even in Nova Scotia.  I would like to find records prior his marriage and family.  Fresh eyes and ideas may enlighten.

Good Morning everyone,
I am a Friend of Diane's.  I have just read all your messages in the condolence book, I can see her smiling.  Today is her funeral in 3 hours in fact.  It is a beautiful day, no clouds in the sky, a beaut clear day, ordered I am sure, because it has been miserable.
I have never been here before, but I found my way and registered.  I know Rob was blown away by how many emails Di had received from you all.
I have actually designed Di's Service Sheet.  It is a beautiful red sunrise over Beachlands with her photo right in the middle.  I had originally written a poem to go with it called Awake my soul and sing.  Di has actually asked for the Hymn Awake my soul to be sung.  She didn't know about my poem or the sunrise.
Di was very spiritual, so rest assured she will be tinkering away on a keyboard in Heaven.  I am a medium and I have seen her smile, she is now happy.  I visited her several times in hospital, and it was so sad.  I sat Bre down with a Guardian Angel Book and explained about Nan's body, she then took the book to Di in hospital and read every page out to her, and that book stayed with Di to the end, along with her Guardian Angels.
God Bless you all.
