I have a Lydia CRAVEN who was born at Northowram 7 Oct 1846, approx 3 Km NE of Halifax UK the 4th of 5 children of Samson Craven and Elizabeth Cheetham. The father was a wool sorter, nothing is known of her mother. Lydia married Mathew NUTTER in Boston and later came to Australia in 1877 on NBOYNTON. How they travelled to America is a mystery. In UK 1871 census they appear to have been neighbours in Crossley Terrace Halifax.
