Crawford-Thompson 1896

Crawford Family Tree

Welcome to the Crawford Family Tree.  This website is based on my Great Grandfather Thomas Crawford and his family in Liverpool, Lancashire, England.

Thomas Crawford

Thomas Crawford was born on the 12th January 1871 at Liverpool Workhouse,  Brownlow Hill.

According to the birth certificate of Thomas Crawford his mother was called Jane Crawford (born 1848) unfortuately his father's name is omitted for some reason.  Although, when Thomas Crawford got married in 1896, his marriage certificate mentions his father as being John Crawford and occupation as a mariner.

Jane Crawford was admitted into the workhouse some time on the 12th January 1871 and gave birth that same day to Thomas.  After a lying-in period, both were discharged on the 23rd January 1871.

After being discharged from the work house, there has been no records found so far to show where mother and son went or if Thomas's father John was around. Searches have been made in the census's but they can't be found for some unknown reason.  It's only when Thomas Crawford marries that he soon reappears back on the scene.
