Travelling back through the Coles line (Ezra) to my 3x great grandfathers David Tansley (daughter Matilda) and Thomas Crane (Caroline) Great family photos, would love to view Thomas Crane's Journal. Sadly the Coles name from Jack/Clara Tansley line died with my uncle in 2010

I am Sherlock on TNG forum from where you pointed me to your site for advice and ideas.

Your website is incredible. The stories about family life way back and in the present makes me jealous I am not a Craxford. Be proud - you obviously have an incredible heritage and family support from all over the globe. Your information is encyclopedic in scope. Thanks Alan

I am a direct descendant of Julia Ann Pridmore (1852-1931) on your Red Pages. She was my paternal Great Grandmother. She married Wilsworth Worthington (1850-1926) on 12th September 1872. They were living at 36 Grafton Underwood, nr Kettering, Northants when they died. We have photos of them and other info.

I am a direct decendant of Thomas Crane the son of Alice (nee Beesworth) and Charles Crane. This is an amazing source of family history and I would love to be able to provide you with more information.

I have recently purchased a Landlords Pint measure. It is engraved Britannia Theatre with a Victoria customs mark 349 for London County. The initials on the measure are WSC which I now know to be William Samuel Craxford. I have found the Craxford family website invaluable in establishing the provinence of the measure. Many thanks

[Many thanks, Terry, for the photographs. We have added them to the article in the PURPLE pages where they can be seen at: The Britannia Comes To The Craxfords].

I was very interested in the article in LRFHS* mag. about the Crane family. I have researched it but knew nothing about Henry Crane's life. I am a direct decendant of Henry. My grandmother was Ada Elizabeth Crane daughter of Henry and Caroline Crane.

My sister and I just started searching for my maternal grandmother's family. We were born in Yorkshire but live in US. Our grandmother's mother was Charlotte Ingram Smith born 1861(?)in Gretton. She married John William Hill. Not sure she is on your site anywhere but it is fascinating to see your website. Ta

Incredible website, also the quality of your research exhibited in your story, "Paperboy unknowingly delivers newspapers to the granddaughters of his great uncle's murderer" is an inspiration for me to be more complete with my own articles.

Fantastic website , many thanks !

Website is nicely done and looks great! Thanks for your help Alan.
