Arthur William Cragg was born 1842 Halifax, West Yorkshire. I have him on the 1851 census with his father James, and mother Caroline (died 1854), and on the 1861 with his father James and step mother Elizabeth. Arthur William married Isabella Sharp(e) in Huddersfield West Yorkshire 1st June 1872. Isabella was born 1853 Huddersfield. After Arthur's marriage to Isabella I have lost trail of him, cannot find him on census returns, nor can I find a death record for Arthur.
Isabella had 5 known children.......................
1. Ann Cragg born and died 1874
2. James William Cragg born 1876, died 1877
3. Harry Cragg born 1877
4. Lily Cragg born 1880 (my grandmother)
5. Albert Cragg born 1882
All above children born in Huddersfield.
I have Isabella on census 1881-1901 with her 3 surviving children, however Arthur is not with them. Harry Cragg born 1877, named his first son Arthur (born 1900) in view of Harry choosing Arthur as his son's name, I assume Arthur didn't desert his family!
Can anyone find a death, census, or emigration record for Arthur?
Many thanks for your time. I shall be most grateful for any info on Arthur.
Kind regards.
