To John Crabbe
Dear John
I don't really know anything about the
Craber name, but anything is possible as it
is such an unusual name and I hated it as a
child. Quite honestly it still does not do
much for me, and when my marriage broke up
could not face reverting to that name so took
a name from a different side of the family,
that of my first convict ancestors in
Australia.
I know my Craber family came to Australia from London in the 1870's, and have traced the family back in London for some generations before that.
I think that it was an original german name
but cannot be sure.
However I am always open to suggestion . . .
