Dear Rootschatters. getting back to my family after years of neglect and in my golden years its like taking baby steps again. Have fleshed many bones from before their arrival in Oz in 1910s (grandfather David Bennett Crawford in Newcastle NSW) and 1920s (great uncle James and wife Margaret Potts in Adelaide) and would like some British Census lookups please. 1901 Census Crawford/Wymer of West Ham Leyton(stone) and Bennett of same area. 1911 Census Crawford/Potts of West Ham Leytonstone.. Hopefully can place them before their long voyages. I did have contact with "jackhammer" back in 2010 which led me to some Crawford burials at Cheltenham cemetery Adelaide. Although now living in New Zealand I have many rellies in Oz and try to visit Adelaide yearly. Thanks for listening. Jo

I'm also assuming from your previous posts you're looking for James CRAWFORD who married Margaret POTTS in 1880? Can't see them easily in the 1911 census - when did they sail for Oz?
Also, any more details on the BENNETT family you are looking for at West Ham?

Not sure if this is what you are looking for.

Thanks Maddys52. Margaret Crawford (the daughter-in-law) was Margaret Potts. She and hubby James, who must been on ship on census night, and the two wee ones went to Adelaide. Still dont know when but Margaret died there, a widow, in 1936. Thanks for finding the 1891 address. Ill look up shipping arrivals post 1891. much appreciated. Jo
