John Cranston 1901 Look Up Please
Tweet
Hi,
Looking for info on John Cranston, he married Elizabeth Fraser nee Atchison in 1897 in Chorlton Lancashire, Elizabeth was born c1865 in Scotland. This is her second marriage, she had a daughter named Mary Alice Cranston born Ardwick Manchester in 1900.
Her first marriage was to Donald Fraser in 1884 in Tynemouth Northumberland. Donald was born around 1864 also in Scotland.
Thankyou in anticipation for your help

Hi
Had a good look but not seeing them in 1901... I am a bit puzzled though.
On FreeBMD there is one CRANSTON birth 1898 to 1905 in Chorlton district - that of Mary Alice CRANSTON in Mar Qtr 1900.
On the 1901 Census, there is a 1 yr old Mary A CRANSTON. Living at 21 Sandown St, Ardwick. But her parents are William J & Sarah A , both 23 years old & born Manchester
(I also noticed Donald FRASER is enumerated as age 63 in the 1891 Census in Jesmond, Northumberland - perhaps that's a mistake on the actual census?)
Cheers
AMBLY

Re: John Cranston 1901 Look Up Please
well i can see elizabeth on the 1891 in northumberland with the older donald. looked for donald on the 1881 census and there is one born scotland living newcastle and a railway goods agent which seems to fit with the 1891 census . he gives his birth as 1830 which does seem to mean he was much older than her. he is married to annie.
do you have any of the marriage certificates?
there is also this death
Name:John Cranston
Estimated Birth Year:abt 1865
Year of Registration:1897
Quarter of Registration:Oct-Nov-Dec
Age at Death:32
District:PrestwichCounty:Lancashire Volume:8d Page284
i note you say she had a daughter born 1900 not they had a daughter .
do you know when she died. could it be possible she died and the child was brought up by relatives.
the only way to find the parentage of the 1900 chorlton birth would be to get the certificate if you havent already.
sorry it is no help just questions and musings

Re: John Cranston 1901 Look Up Please
Thankyou for your posting welshlady. I have Mary Alice Cranston born Mar Qrt 1900 in Ardwick. It appears that Mary married in 1927 at Prestbury St Peter Cheshire. I guess I am going to have to invest in some certificates.
