You have to take into account that the majority of people could neither read nor write in those days, so they wouldn't know how to spell their names. That is how so many variants of similar names are in existence today. Where did you get the name Craig? On a child's birth cert perhaps? Reg

thank you penelope for the info on joseph we dont have that but it looks like its connected to joseph denton born 1844 barnsley sarah

Hi Sarah If you order her marriage cert then you will have her fathers name and will perhaps help to trace her family. Anna x

If you purchase the marriage cert (assuming you haven't already done so) you will find out the name and occupation of her father. That will help with your search............. Reg
