Here are my Craigs from Restigouche county. Doea anyone have any connection?
James CRAIG (b. 17 Mar 1812 ANT, d. 4 Sep 1872 N.B.) and his wife Ellen GLENN (b. 15 Feb 1815 ANT, d. 7 Jan 1906 N.B.) sailed from Belfast in May 1834. They settled in Upper Charlo, Restigouche county, N.B. and had the following children:

These people lived all their lives in N.B., Restigouche or Gloucester counties.
James 1851-1938 went to Calgary ALTA, m Ellen Woolliams David 1853-1928 went to Nakusp B.C>, m Dagny Hansen ** Hugh 1855-1923 went to Keewatin ON, m Christina Adams ** my line

Re: Craigs in Restigouche
Many thanks for posting this census Susan. I have read the various census for Restigouche but most of the rest of what I know has come from bits and pieces gathered here and there and I still have lots of gaps and inconsistencies. They came from Ireland in either 1834 or 1835 but I have never been able to find them on a ship. William, the father came in either 1820 or 1840.

Re: Craigs in Restigouche
Thanks for this Harry. I knew of the marriages but did not have the full recording. I have as children of Allen Miller/Nancy Craig: William, Ellen*, Mary Jane*, James*, Allen, Thomas, Annabella, and Robert. (The * means I have info on spouses and some children). I have James' wife as Margaret and their children: Mary*, Ellen*, James, Margaret, John, William*, Martha, Emma, Hugh, Robert, Jack. Most of my info came from census records and PANB records. Would appreciate anything you might have that would add to this - and do I have anything you would like? Lois
