Dorothy and Mary-Ann CRAGGS
I was wondering if you have a Dorothy Craggs born about 1758 Durham and dying in about 1835 Monkwearmouth age 77. Married William Breckinridge, Chester le Street. May be related to Mary-Ann Craggs who married Robert Storey - not confirmed, several connections in later generations - believe father was James and mother Mary Spraggon. Connections with the Addison and Kirtley/Kirkley families. Abby Slinger (Australia)
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.
