But emigrated to Australia in 1960.
Married to an Leslie Alexander Carr. (born 24.08.1926). He was born in Australia, but came to UK on 19th Sep 1946, I believe.
Married Bessie in Plymouth UK in 1948.
They have 5 children before emigrating to Oz. They had a child in Oz but I believe it was still born.

1903 electied to Senate and in 1910 on the electrol roll as Commonwealth officer with an Emma Croft - Domestic
John William Croft retired in 1910 and the family story is that he boarded a ship for the Islands in 1913 and didn't reach his destination. -

Hi Wizzardess
From www.bdm.nsw.gov.au
14028/1871 CROFT JOHN W JAMES T ANNIE NEWCASTLE
His parents were James Thomas CROFT and Annie BASSETT, who married in 1868 in Newcastle NSW (reg 2875). He was one of 10 children.
Served in WA senate 1903-1910.
From http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home:
The Brisbane Courier, Wednesday 8 July 1891
MARRIAGES.
CROFT-BRACEY.-On the 22nd June, at Kangaroo Point, by the Rev. E. Bishop, John William, second son of Alderman James T. Croft, of Tlghe's Hill, near Newcastle, New South Wales, to Emma, fourth daughter of the late Charles Bracey, of Birmingham, England.
They had a daughter named May Clara in 1891 in Qld (reg 48880). There was a son named Roy CROFT born in Perth, WA in 1903 to John William CROFT and Emma BRACEY (reg 4147).
Several sources state he died in 1913 but I cannot find it in WA. Nor a death or remarriage for Emma, or marriage or death for Roy in WA.
There is a NSW marriage for a Roy CROFT in 1929 to Mary E PALMER, but could be coincidence.
The Sydney Morning Herald, Saturday 20 February 1904
Senator Croft, of Western Australia, who is a native of Newcastle, delivered an open-air address to-night from the balcony of the Royal Exchange Hotel. The Mayor (Alderman Gilbert) presided. Senator Croft spoke at length in defence of the legislation promulgated by the Labour party, and in conclusion, said that the party intended to get a Federal Arbitration Bill through during the coming session which would include all Government employees.
The Advertiser (Adelaide), Thursday 2 November 1905

Melbourne, November 1.
Senator Croft, who for five years was organiser for the Western Australian Labor Party, to-day replied to Sir John Forrest's observations regarding the result of the Western Australian State elections.
"The recent Labor Government of Western Australia," said Senator Croft, "courted defeat by their namby-pamby methods of administration and their peculiar ideas as to policy..."
The Sydney Morning Herald, Tuesday 26 May 1908

How interesting the Emma fits for the marriage, but very misterious,
as far as the death for John William Croft goes.
I will take a look at the Roy Croft you mention
Thank you very much........................LOIS

On Saturday, April 3, Arthur Harnett Wragg, engraver, 48 years of age, was missed from his home at Evans-street, Brunswick. His body was found in the sea, at Albert-park on Thursday. At the inquest on Saturday, evidence was given by the son of the deceased that his father had received an injury to the head from a bicycle accident. He had suffered from headaches since. There was nothing in his manner to indicate that he contemplated suicide. The autopsy by Dr. Brett disclosed a fracture of the right temple, and brain irritation at the site of the injury .A verdict of found drowned was returned.
The Argus, Thursday 27 June 1901
WRAGG.-On the 16th June, accidentally drowned at River Cam, Tasmania, Thomas D. Wragg, many years resident of North Melbourne, and beloved father of Arthur H. Wragg, wood engraver, of this city, aged 79 years.
Thos Dodd Wragg was a postmaster in Tasmania but had been a wood engraver in London, as was his brother. His father (who shared his name) was a solicitor and his mother a teacher and governess. Much about this family online. Thos’ estate was 476 pounds, went to his wife, Emily in August 1901

Frances Maisey/Maisie was born in 1889 in Port Melbourne to John Thos NORGROVE and Elizabeth POWNE (reg 15317). Her death in 1958 is registered as both NORGROVE and WRAGG. Seems possible she reverted to her maiden name after the loss of her husband quite young. her parents also died young (her mum was 45 and her dad was 50). JT & Elizabeth married in Vic in 1888 (reg 5696); JT was from Birmingham and Elizabeth born in Penzance Cornwall to Wm & Sophia. (She arrived in Vic aged 3 in 1870 aboard 'Yorkshire'.)
