Cyril Joseph, Timothy Mark and Phillip Mark CRAGGS
My name is Phillip Mark Craggs. My father is Timothy Mark Craggs and my Grandfather is Cyril Joseph ‘Joe’ Craggs. Cyril, or Joe as he preferred to be called, was born in 1912 in Portchester, near Portsmouth, Hampshire. My dad always says that we descend from Newcastle but I have been unable confirm or deny anything. Does any of this mean anything to you? I would be grateful for any information you have and will gladly hand over any info I find as a result. Regards, Phil Craggs
My family ancestors includes a William Cragg (sic), sent out as a convict to Tasmania after his death sentence at Surrey Assizes was commuted in 1829 , but his correct name, as per a petition seeking his commutation, is Craggs, his father being William Craggs, of Cottage Place, Lion Street, New Kent Road, a shoemaker, and wife Sarah.
I believe they variously baptised/married etc at St Marys Lambeth, Surrey
Steve Harris, Tasmania.
