Their parents are John Crawford and Mary Bamford Crawford of Creevehill, Fermanagh. John died of a kick from a horse in 1914 and will probate done in 1915. Mary Crawford was still alive in 1922 when her daughter Susan Crawford listed her as nearest relative in Ireland on the ships manifest of the latest visit journey back home that I have found. That Susan Crawford never married and died in Rochester, NY. (M. Crawford, mother in "Crieve"--the brogue messing with the ships clerk--it always comes out Crieve but on paperwork in Fermanagh is Creevehill)
FROM THE 1901 CENSUS for North Fermanagh, Lisnaskea, Townland Creevehill, barony Tyrkennedy, Enniskillen etc... I learned this:
I think this Margaret "Maggie" Bamford was Mary Bamford's mom or sister ?who may have gone to Australia and returned or? and at least that someone named Maggie Bamford was a very close neighbor to John Crawford in 1901.
John Crawford and Maggie Bamford appear as households on the same page with Maggie Bamford also as landlord to Andrew Morrow on the line entry two places above John Crawford's household of 10 persons. At the 3rd line entry on the page is a William Hamilton family and a cousin Lizzie Hamilton accompanied Susan Crawford to NYC in 1910 when the girls were both age 20.

Terri,
Check out the Emerson history from the Fermanagh Gold list several years ago.

I have researched other Irish counties but am new to Fermanagh research. Would SKS
send me notes about what is contained on the F-Gold web site? Is there a bibliography of
LDS FHLC microfilms? Are there parish maps? I did look at the site this morning but
found it a bit confusing at first glimpse. I'll be grateful for any tips as to what Parish the
Emerson home was in, how to access C. of I. records, etc.
I'm researching my husband's Emerson ancestors and have extracted from his family
history (by R. Edna Johnston) a bit of information about their neighborhood and a few other Fermanagh names mentioned, which I hope will be of general interest.
Edward Emerson born 1809 died 1888, married Isabella Musgrove, born 1817 died 1910.
Edward's parents were William Emerson and Mary Wilson. I have a list of Edward's
siblings, a partial list of the siblings' children and places they emigrated to. Isabella's
parents were James Chittoch Musgrove born 1789 died 1871 and his wife Ann
Rutledge, born 1786 died 1868, and is buried in Tempo Cemetery.
After their marriage on Jan. 1, 1836 by Rev. MacWilliams, a Presbyterian minister,
Edw. & Isabella lived in the Mosgove farmhouse where 3
generations of Mosgroves had been born. The farm was about 15 miles east of Enniskillen.
Nearby towns were Tempo, Five-Mile Town, Brookeborough. The Many Burns River, about
12 miles wide and not very deep, flowed near the house. The Emersons were members of
the Church of Ireland and attended Tattykern church about a mile from their home, or sometimes
Colebrook Church. Lady Brooke had square pews in each church. The Brookes had a vast
estate and the town of Brookeborough was named for them. The Emersons operated a
small neighborhood store in a stone outbuilding at their farm.
The Emerson history states that elementary education was compulsory and the Emerson
children attended a one-room school nearly a mile from home. The teacher was always
male. Church and state were united so the Bible was taught in school on Saturday
mornings and the Church of Ireland confirmation services observed. Apparently sewing,
knitting, and embroidery were part of the curriculum for the girls. The eldest of Edw. &
Isabella's children went as far as the teacher could take him - two books in algebra,
geometry, trigonometry, etc., and at age 13 was apprenticed at a drug store for five
years.
Here are a few other County Fermanagh names gleaned from the Emerson history:
Margaret Emerson born ca 1809, married James Banford.
***(This Bamford/Banford may be a typo of Kathleen's post here or a transcription error or a even a family name change as the daughter's marriage record says Bamford for John Crawford and Mary Bamford and on that census Maggie Bamford is clearly an "m" and written twice that way--this note inserted by Terri Rine Dance into my copy of Kathleen Emersons Fermanagh-GOLD 2001 post***
They went to Australia in
1870. Son George and daughter Margaret also went to Australia. Son James went
to Canada. Remaining in Ireland were children William, Robert, Edward, Susan who
married Galbrath Moffett, Mary who married John Crawford. Robert Emerson born
ca 1809 married Ann Musgrove (Isabella Musgrove's sister) and they stayed in
Ireland. Daughters Jane and Mary Ann went to NY. William, James, Margaret,
Isabella, and Edward went to Australia. Robert, Thomas, and Eliza stayed in Ireland
and Thomas lived near Tempo. Thomas Emerson married Tillie ______? and they
stayed in Ireland. Mary Ann married William Smith. Other children were Noble,
Matilda, and Bella Margaret who stayed in Ireland, and William who went to the US.
James Lowrey Johnston, birthplace near the Emerson farm in Fermanagh, accompanied
Margaret and John Emerson (children of Edward and Isabella Emerson) to Ontario,
Canada in 1863 and later married an Emerson sister, Ann, in Albert Lea, MN, US.
James was trained as a stone mason in County Fermanagh.
Samuel Beatty, a trained stonecutter, also from the same area of County Fermanagh,
married Mary Emerson in 1876 in Albert Lea, MN.
The four oldest children of Edw. & Isabella Emerson emigrated to Canada in 1862 and
1863, and then settled in Mansfield Township, MN. On August 12, 1870 Edw., Isabella,
the remaining 9 children, and Isabella's father James Chittoch Musgrove took the train
from Fintona to Londonderry, and on August 13 they boarded the steamer "Morivian" to
begin their voyage. The crossing took about a week. They went by ship down the St.
Lawrence to Montreal, crossed into the U.S. at Sarnia, went to Milwaukee, WI and then
by train to Albert Lea, MN. It appears they arrived in MN before the end of August.
The history doesn't mention other Fermanagh people on the
voyage but there were some Fermanagh people near them in MN.
Kathleen.

Entire household was Church of God and could read and write.
I have written to some of that denomination in Fermanagh that have websites but they didn't exist until 1930's.
John and Mary had been married for 30 years which would make the marriage date 1879. This date matches the marriage record for John Crawford and Mary Bamford. Mary was the mother of eight children all living.
And somewhere in the mix is an Older man named William Crawford, older than Margaret Jane, who lists John Crawford as father on ship's manifests when traveling back and forth to NYC with these Crawford sisters but he is much too old to be the little William (so perhaps a first marriage for John Crawford--wife die in childbirth???guessing here) that is listed as one of the younger of the 8 children named in what I believe are in proper order of birth:
Margaret Jane marries James Francis Dennison from Murley who she was introduced to by Marjorie as he was on the same ship "the Mongolian" with she and "James J." when they were traveling together to NYC "to meet sister M. J. Crawford" from ships manifest.
James John--never marries--dies in Ireland but visits New York many times.

William
Mary
Susan Ann--never marries--dies in Rochester, NY
Samuel--listed on John Crawford's 1915 Armagh probate records

Please contact me Ann! The Ernest Samuel Johnston Gregg who also responded to your post 3 months ago just contacted me directly today and I looked up your post by his! Maybe he can shed a little more light on the Bamford/Banford affair. I do have some other infomation but this is getting to long and I don't know how to do attachments if you even can in this note area so please contact me directly.
