Hi,
I'm researching the Crockett family and I seem to have hit a brick wall. I'm trying to find information on two siblings, Jessie and William Crockett.
Jessie was born on 28th October 1892 at Laxdale, Stornoway and William was born on 3rd October 1898 at 48 Bayhead Street, Stornoway. Their parents were James Crockett and Annie Graham; James' family were originally from Lossiemouth.
I have information on all of the other children (Nellie Ann, Catherine Mary, James, Malcolm and Catherine Mary (named after older sister)), but I can't seem to find details for William and Jessie. I know that their brother, Malcolm, was killed in WW1 and their sister Catherine emigrated to America. Crockett is a relatively unusual name in the Stornoway area which is why I was surprised I couldn't find anything. I do know William fought in the war and when Malcolm died references were made to his family when recorded in the 1901 census.
I'd be grateful to anyone who could help me out as it seems likely that William and Jessie emigrated.
Thanks,
Greg
