Sorry, I don't have any more info on Cranford, but these individuals do appear in a database I have. I have Moses Thorne b. Feb 1876 New Harbour married to E. Minnie unknown, now I can fill that in with Cranford, b. Apr 1882 New Harbour.

I have their children as - Cecil, Julia, Clarence, Lena, Cecilia, Samuel, Moses.

I also have another connection to CRANFORDS from New Harbour.

My great-grandfather Frank Roberts, from Twillingate (1891-1959), his second wife was Julia May Rideout (1915-1999), from Whale's Gulch, who's second husband was George Harold Cranford, son of Albert CRANFORD and Ida Jane PINSENT. Do you have any info on who Albert's parents are?

Coincidentally, my line also connects to the Pinsents, through the Baileys in Trinity Bay.

Hi Ian
The earliest I can find Albert and Ida Cranford is on the 1921 New Harbour census. There are other Cranford's on this census, but I have no way of connecting them.

Albert Cranford was my grandfather. He was married to Ida Pinsent who was his first wife. His second wife was Bertha. Her surname was Reid ( as I recall )???
My father was Harold George or George as he was mostly called.
His first wife, my mother was Hilda Thorne. The information on his second wife Julie Rideout has already been provided.
I don't have any information on my grandfathers parents.

A. Cranford,
I'd love to share family tree info with you. We are related through Pinsent, and have the common link with Julia May Rideout, who was my grandfather Melvin Mark Roberts' (1919-2005) step-mother.

Hi Roxanne,

I'm not sure if we are thinking about the same people or not but I have a Harriett Ann Cranford b. 1898 in my family tree, daughter of Robert Cranford and Martha George. She had a son Malcolm Cranford prior to her marriage to Eli Harnum of Heart's Delight. Are we talking about the same Harriet Ann Cranford. I also have Joshua Worthman in my tree and I have him married to a Sarah Cranford of New Harbour.

Hi. I'm not sure how far your research has taken you, but Cecilia Hopkins was my great grand-mother. Her husband, my great grandfather was James Maxwell Cranford. I have quite a bit of information on the Cranford side but none on Cecilia. I would love to see the picture you have and share information. Please email me at wandy.miller@sympatico.ca
