Post by: Raystephenson1965 on Sunday 18 August 19 08:06 BST (UK)
Hi Guys, I am trying to find out information about the parents of Eliza Ann Crawford b abt 1835. Married James Stephenson 1860 Belfast. Eliza's father stated as John Crawford a Labourer. Eliza living at Carrick Hill Belfast.
Any other information on the Crawford family would be great. Thanks, guys.

Hello,

It seems they had six children altogether. Elizabeth died on the 30th April 1900 at 60 Hatfield Street, Belfast and was buried in Belfast Cemetery.

Her children were: George, Francis, Sarah, Sarah, Robert and Frances. It was common for parents to name the next child after one which was stillborn or died in infancy - hence the two girls named Sarah.

I hope this helps!

That's an excellent find. I have this information but I have Frances twice instead of Frances and Francis.

Thanks, again.

I am still struggling to find the date of birth of my Great Grandfather, George Crawford Stephenson.
I know he was born in 1860 Belfast Co Antrim.

Someone has posted details of Stephensons which would need to be verified but perhaps they can shed light on Crawford family-
