I have been told that Edith's father was left a farm in Co Down and came from USA to Northern Ireland about 1902 with his family.  I think John may have been from Dublin and they may have married in Dublin.  unfortunately I do not know where they lived in Dublin.   Edith was a dressmaker

Hi Bette

My great grand mother was Anna Eliza, my grandmother Sarah was born in New Jersey.
I would love to know what information you have on her as I know very little about her. I have one copy of a photo which I was send my another member of the Craig family.

I have a Catherine McCann who married Francis Grayson (also spelling Gracey) on 19 April 1886 at Registrars office Lurgan.  Catherine father was given as Matthew and she had a sister's Mary Ann and Ellen.  Mary Ann lived with Francis and Catherine and was named in Francis's  will, so I asume that she never married. Her residence was given as silverwood, Parish of Shankill, Lurgan.

Not sure if this is the one you are looking for.
