I am currently researching the family and descendants of George Cruickshank who was born in Carlisle, England to Scottish parents George Cruickshank 1836 - 1878 and Janet Tweedie White 1838 - 1916 my great great grandparents. George was born in Carlisle in 1867 and married Jeannie Gemmell at Caldwell, Renfrewshire, Scotland on 30/12/1887. Jeannie was born at Kilburnie, Ayrshire, Scotland in 1862 and died at Stranraer, Wigtown, Scotland on 3/6/1940.
The 1891 English Census had George and his wife and children living in Carlisle, Cumberland, England and his occupation was Railway Engine Stoker.
By 1896 George and his family were living at 11 St John Street, Stranraer (source - death record of daughter Lily).
By 1899 George and his family were living at 18 Station Street, Stranraer (source - birth record of daughter Agnes).
The 1901 Scottish Census had George and his family were living at 18 Station Street, Stranraer and his occupation Railway Engine Driver.
I have not been able to find a date or place of death for George.
Children of the marriage were
Janet (Jeannie) Gemmell Cruickshank, born 14/12/1888 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland and she married John Campbell on `7/8/1921 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She died there on 6/2/1974.
Lily Cruickshank, born 1891 in Carlisle, Cumberland, England and died 7/7/1896 in Stranraer, Wigtown, Scotland.
George Cruickshank, born 14/11/1893 in Stranraer, Wigtown, Scotland and died on 30/10/1957 at Kirkinner, Wigtown, Scotland.
Robert Cruickshank, born 3/11/1896 in Stranraer, Wigtown, Scotland and he married Isabella McJannett on 21/12/1921 at Dunragit, Wigtownshire, Scotland and he died in 1962 in Stonehouse, Lanarkshire, Scotland.
Agnes Nancy Cruickshank, born 28/5/1899 in Stranraer, Wigtown, Scotland and she married Andrew Russell on 2/2/1925 at Stranraer and she died in 1972 in West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Elizabeth Cruickshank, born 21/6/1902 in Stranraer, Wigtown, Scotland and she married Joseph Jardine on 17/8/1934 in Stranraer and she died on 4/4/1942 in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The only descendant of this family is the child of Janet Cruickshank and John Campbell, Jean Anne Campbell (birth date unknown) who married David F. Mullin in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1963. There were no children of this marriage to my knowledge.
If anyone is able to give me any further information relating to this branch of our family it would be greatly appreciated.
