Hi Wiggy

you are right there are too many Thomas Crawfords in Tasmania !
I have three of them but looking through all the postings you recieved for your Thomas Crawford i dont think any of them are your photographer.
My GGG grandfather whom i posted about was a labourer and he died in 1896.
His son Thomas Peter Crawford was a beaconsfield miner and married Mary Ann Smith they are my g grandmothers parents so not your photographer either.
Finally my GGG Grandfather Thomas Crawford also had another son John who had a son Thomas James Crawford but he was not born until late in the 19th century so too young to be your photographer.
So sorry about that but no,  :(  i dont have your photographer.
Anyway your post has led me to Thomas James Crawford whom i wasnt aware of so thanks for that, if i find any more Thomas Crawfords in the family that  turn out to be photographers i will let you know.

regards

Hello
looking for anything on my GGG Grandfather Thomas Crawford, sent to Tasmania as a convict in 1830, eventually married  Elizabeth Jones, i would like to know where he originally came from {he was convicted at the old bailey and lived in Shoreditch} and when he and his wife died. They had several children together one of whom was my GG Grandfather Thomas Peter Crawford, however i dont have the names of all his other children.
Thanks

Hi
my GG Grandfather John Muir Moyes was a ships engineer in the late 19th century, working out of Sydney, and sailing regularly to NZ and beyond, he immigrated to Australia from Scotland with his family when he was 12, would any one know how he would have gotten his training to become an engineer back then.
