    Default EDWARD CRAWCOUR ALIAS CARTWRIGHT

    As a follow up to initial research made on Edward Crawcour son of Isaac Crawcour and Simha Cohen De Lara I have discovered his second 'marriage' to C ( first name unknown at present) Ward. Ward is her married name.
    Edward Crawcour was married first to Margaret Buchanan and they had 2 children: John Isaac and Helen ( Ellen) Semira.
    In the 1851 Census H0107/1869 ( Crown Copyright, care of TNA)
    Edward is living with his first family and step children at 30 Southam way Exeter Devon:
    E C Cartwright Head M 43 proprietor of houses b Middx London
    C I Cartwright wife 51 b Lanac...... ( difficult to decipher)
    John Cartwright son U 16 scholar b Philadelphia America
    Ellen Cartwright dau U 15 scholar b Hull Yorkshire
    Jane Ward dau in law U 23 b Shropshire ( difficult to decipher)
    George Ward son in law U 19 Mechanic b Bengal India
    William Ward son in law U 17 b ? Belaphore India
    George Ward appears in the 1881 and 1891 census as a dentist and William maybe the stockbroker recorded in the 1871 and 1891 census as born Bengal India.

    I can find no record on FreeBMD of a marriage by Edward using either Crawcour or Cartwright to anyone named Ward.
    Any help locating his 2nd 'wife' appreciated.

    Default CATHERINE WARD-CARTWRIGHT-CRAWCOUR

    Brilliant research Kerry! You have done it again. i spotted William Ward in 1871 Census with Elizabeth M Simmonds his aunt and 2 nieces but you have fitted the jigsaw pieces together. Very interesting that Catherine dropped the Cartwright name and never used the Crawcour surname. I have a feeling she and Edward were not married.

    Very many thanks for all your work.
    Phillip
