I have been researching the family tree of my Father Harry & Uncle John (Jack) Crake.
Their father was John (Jack) Colville Crake, Born in Durham County 1891 Died 4/2/1921 Atiamuri NZ. His parents were William Crake, Born West Rainton, Durham 1852 - 23/11/1906 Tyne & Wear, Durham. Married Emily Crake (Atkinson) 1868 - 12/12/1906.
I have got back as far as George Crake, 1790 - 1852, East Rainton, Durham, Coal Miner
Married to Jane Crake (Morgan) 3/3/1806, Jarrow, Durham. Died 22/5/1865.
They had 3 sons, James Born at Penshaw, Durham, 1821, Twins John & Thomas Born at House Lane Durham, 1826. John Died Oct 1890. John is my Great Great Grandfather.
I have hit a brick wall trying to go back any further, any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
