Crawford Family History

Links to the Crawford Family history on the right hand side of my blog page.
Had to split into 2 files as the file was too large to work with.

I plan to do the same for the Murray & McHaffie side of the family (my Di Murray's family).

David was the older brother of my Dad and the 4th child of Mary Locke Crawford and William Murray.

David divorced Sandra and spent the later years with his new wife in Stonehouse, Lanarkshire.

David died of cancer.

My Uncle Willie moved to Perth, Scotland and died there circa 2000

My Aunt Maria died in Hamilton in circa 2006 (she had alzhiemers).

Thomas McMillan

This is Thomas McMillan, oldest son of my grandmother Mary Locke Crawford Murray.
Thomas died in World War 1. He was raised by his grandparents David and Margaret McMillan hence he was known as Thomas McMillan. He was actually my Dad's oldest brother.
