Crawford/Wymer/Potts of Leyton Essex

[dorothybennett]

Dear Rootschatters.  getting back to my family after years of neglect and in my golden years its like taking baby steps again.  Have fleshed many bones from before their arrival in Oz in 1910s (grandfather David Bennett Crawford in Newcastle NSW)  and 1920s  (great uncle James and wife Margaret Potts in Adelaide) and would like some British Census lookups please.  1901 Census  Crawford/Wymer  of West Ham  Leyton(stone)    and Bennett  of same area.  1911 Census  Crawford/Potts  of West Ham   Leytonstone..   Hopefully can place them before their long voyages.  I did have contact with "jackhammer" back in 2010  which led me to some Crawford burials at Cheltenham  cemetery  Adelaide.  Although now living in New Zealand I have many rellies  in Oz and try to visit Adelaide yearly.  Thanks for listening.       Jo

I'm also assuming from your previous posts you're looking for James CRAWFORD who married Margaret POTTS in 1880? Can't see them easily in the 1911 census - when did they sail for Oz?

Also, any more details on the BENNETT family you are looking for at West Ham?

The names David Rennie Crawford and Charlotte Bennett appear on the same page of marriage register, West Ham, June 1892.

Birth of David Crawford Bennett registered March 1889, Fulham. No mmn shown on GRO Index  so suggests mother unmarried.
