I wasn't sure if this was her or not because I haven't seen the Isabella part mentioned anywhere else. It would be nice if it was her because it gives the mother's maiden name which I haven't been able to find.
Thanks.

I'm trying to find the marriage of John Craig and Elizabeth (unknown surname), and their children. John and Elizabeth are the parents of Margaret Craig married to Thomas Farrer on a separate thread, but on this thread it's the Craigs I'm trying to find.

In 1851 I found John and Elizabeth living in Kingston-Upon-Hull with daughter Frances (5). It showed John born in Glasgow and Elizabeth born in Manchester.

In 1861 they have three more children, Margaret (1852), Elizabeth (1853) and Jessie (1859), all born in Kingston-Upon-Hull.

In 1871 they're in Liverpool with two further children, Charles (1867) and William (1868), both born in Liverpool.

In 1881 Charles and William are living in the house previously occupied by their parents, but are now living with James and Elizabeth Dodson (Elizabeth is the daughter of John and Elizabeth).

I can't find a marriage for John and Elizabeth. I can't find a birth for Frances, Charles or William. There's a possible birth for Jessie but it shows her as Jessie Isabella so not sure if it's her.

I don't know what happened to John. There is a John in some kind of institution in 1881 but no idea whether it's him or not.
