Hello,
We're searching for information about Thomas Crawley who was born 28 March 1856 in Port William, Wigtownshire, Scotland. He was the illegitimate son of, we think, John Garroch and Mary Crawley. He grew up with his mother, Mary, and his grandfather, Matthew Crawley. Thomas married Margaret Divin (or Divine) on 22 Sep 1878. They immigrated to New Zealand on 13 Jan 1878. They had 6 children. After Margaret died Thomas Crawley got married to Anna Eliza Connor in 1908. Thomas died in NZ in March 1933. We would like information on his parents John and Mary. Also information on his grandfather, and/or grandparents.
Thanks,
Pam and Grace

Hi, I have Matthews death certificate. It shows his parents as James Crawley and Ann? Gallacher. James' occupation is soldier. My interest is through his daughter Helen (Nellie).
