Our Craig line is large.
It includes William Craig (1802-1869) and Isabella Falla (1802-1869). Both are buried in Warwick QLD. William was a blacksmith and an alderman. William was a son of Thomas Craig (1775-1819 and Jean Hunter (1776-post 1841)and Isabella was a daughter of William Falla (1774-1847)and Helen Robson (b. 1778)
William and Isabella had 6 children including:
Thomas Craig (1830-1889) married Bridget Ryan (1832-1908)Both are buried in Warwick QLD They had 10 children including:
William Craig (1856-1935) and married Eliza Stiles (1857-1957)This family moved to Glen Innes NSW and were involved with the Salvation Army.

We are looking for anyone researching the Croskell name in the Lancashire area.
My Grandmother was Margaret Croskell and her parents Alfred Croskell and Winifred Hornby emigrated to Australia in 1911, with their young family and settled at Wellingrove (Near Glen Innes NSW).
We have done a lot of research on this line.

Alfred's parents were John Croskell (1932-1910) and Margaret Ann Pennington (1835-1916). Some female ancestors names who married Croskell's include Ellen Harrison (married Joseph Croskell in 1817),and Hannah Hathornthwaite (married George Croskell in 1783)

Winifred Hornby's parents were Thomas Hornby (1843-1903) and Grace Parker (1842-1882) We go back way further. Some other female ancestors names include Bamber, Gornall, Brewer (all married Hornby's).
James Parker married Isabella Parkinson in 1835 and his father Roger Parker married Grace Cookson in 1803

It is proving difficult to find anyone researching these lines, so we would love to hear from anyone who thinks they may have a connection.

Henry Heffernan?s was the only known child of Thomas Heffernan (1839-1923) and Hannah Clancy. Thomas traveled to Northern Tablelands with Henry?s party, and is buried in Glen Innes cemetery.
Tom is of great interest to us. The are so many family stories, and inconsistent records that we are compiling a spreadsheet on all the Heffernan?s of the Southern Highlands area to sort out families. Tom settled in a small area with other Heffernan families, and we have photo?s of some of these family members in our original photo collection, and a lot of family stories tell us there is a connection and a rift, but we have not yet found a connection, if there is one.
