1859 Marriage
Charles married Eliza Jane Moran on the 17th of May, 1859[3]. She is the daughter of Edward Moran and Elizabeth.
The marriage registration shows his year of birth as 1833 and place Milford. This can safely be ignored as there is no such place as Milford in Cheshire, nor has been in the past, and no birth record for a Charles Crag born in 1833 exists online.
The night of the 1861 census in Ingersoll, Oxford, Canada West (Ontario), Canada[4] finds Charles at home with Eliza Jane his wife.
