Hi Jen B and Deb usa.
Jabez Crabtree seems to have been quite important to the family. I have no idea why.
Ellen 13 yrs was taken in by them after Fanny died - there's a story to that.
I believe the two younger brothers were also there for a while.
Ellen visited them on the return trip to England 1912-14.
? was Fanny his mistress. ? are the 3 younger kids or most of them his.
Since this is so convoluted one starts to muse.
Jabez was reasonably well off being a dentist and grocer. The home was from what I got told very nice and they had really nice silver cuttlery and a scullery maid etc...
Ambly : Fred and Ellen marriage in Qld Registry - tried to send that info post only half posted.
I was given Massey as a posssibility for Fanny's maiden name but it doesn't search to well - available info from last evenings search:-
Marriage info FANNY MASSEY,
Marriage: LEICESTER
Vol: 7a page 205
Reg: Jan-Feb-Mar Qtr. 1869
This might help. Jack [John] Craggs nothing positive turned up.
Joseph and Fanny still on 1871 census
Annie and James Lambert 1911 census. all 10 kids and mum and dad
at the address of the letter - so this is concrete info
I'll attach my word file. it wont work . {I'll send the info later - have to go shopping.}
Interesting info re John ? brother - the tree grows.
what if the other bros have huge families like Annie?
That's all I've got -- mmmm on the death cert for Fanny the wording reads to interpret the name Craggs as "Kelly otherwise Craggs"
cheers and thanks to all
Lynette
