Craigie

Robert Craigie was married to Eleonore Grandjean de Montigny in Rio de Janeiro. They had 3 children.: Augustus, Napoleon and probably William, as you found out. Robert was scottish and Eleonore was born in Westphalie to french parents, Auguste Henri Victor Grandjean de Montigny, architect of Jerôme Bonaparte, and Madeleine Cavaro.
The couple went to Australia, where they divorced and Robert remarried.
We would like to know more about Augustus and William's descendents.

HI,
Can you supply some dates for these people please?

Could this be Augustus? It's from South Australian Cemetery info

Port Vincent Cemetery headstone: Augustus CRAIGIE 43, Augustus CRAIGIE 10 eldest son of the above. Burnt to death at Surveyors Point on Monday 20 Dec 1869 whilst endeavouring to save a flock of sheep in their charge - the property of Mr Goldsworthy. Leaving a widow and four children to mourn their loss. This stone was erected by public subscription as a memento of this occasion.

The newspaper of the day reported the wife and children planned to return to the US so there are no further records in South Australia for them.


Pre-civil registrations in South Australia have only the death of Robert CRAGIE's son Napoleon on 5 Feb 1841, and the second marriage of Robert to Janet WADDELL on 25 Dec 1841 recorded in the Holy Trinity Church register. There is no indication the first wife and older sons came to SA in those early years.

It seems so.
I'm working on that, and organizing the dates.
Seems that Augustus went to the USA and got married there, then the family went back to Australia. The widow returned to the US, with two or three children, and pregnant. A third Augustus was born there.

The first Augustus was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1831.
