This page is where some Crawfords
will end up! It's where I am placing those I have found and think will tie
in somewhere eventually.
Like every family historian,
genealogist, researcher etc., I have hit a brick wall with Robert Crawford
and Helen Yuille. Robert, because he died prior to 1855 and I do not know
where he was actually from; and Helen purely because I cannot find her. From
the information on this web site, I think it is obvious that I will have
left no stone unturned and I only know she was alive after 1855 so must have
a death record somewhere!
Since finding family in USA,
discovering they were at some point in Brady's Bend, Armstrong, PA, I have
just had a huge hunch that maybe some of the answers, or at least clues, lie
in USA, if not in Brady's Bend itself. My hunch was proved right when I
discovered both Joe Ritson and Carole Rummell and the family was put back
together, or at least some of it. See reunion page.
I have added a son to the family of
John Crawford and Maude Myers. I do not think that is actually correct. Joe
remembers them visiting with their daughter Edith but never the mention of a
son Russell, although he does know of a Russell Crawford at Brady's Bend.
I am, therefore, putting Russell
and his family here in the hope that it will be sorted out. They are all
buried in the Private Crawford Cemetery at Brady's Bend. Surely if my
Crawfords are buried there then the others must be linked? Joe's grandfather
married Mary Ann Vasbinder and there is a Vasbinder connection to Russell's
family.
Russell E Crawford was born 1st November 1913 and
died 26th May 1988.
