James Henderson Crichton 1870 sanquhar

jeanettefairclough — 2012-04-19 10:11:31Z

My Great Grandfather James Henderson Crichton was a most unpleasant man by all accounts !
However I am still keen to find out more but am struggling.
He was the son of Agnes Henderson and I believe George Crichton. However I can't seem to find out any more than that.
He married Helen Reid and moved to Ireland where the had 5 children before moving back to Scotland.
Not sure what happened from there but he had 4 children with my great grandmother Mary Robertson (nee Love). Family rumour is they never married. My grandma was Helen Crichton born in 1915.
Anything anyone can add would be really appreciated.
Jeanette

Hey A_Dauniika,

That's excellent information! Can I ask where you sourced that from as I have never been able to find anything as detailed as that? Researching the Crichtons of Samoa has always been difficult for me!

"William Crichton was originally from Glasgow, Scotland. As a young lad he enjoyed watching trains enter and exit the Glasgow railway station. On one particular day, William asked his mother if he and his sister might go to the railway station and watch the trains. The mother warned William to be careful, stay back from the tracks, and to take good care of his sister. Unfortunately, the warning was not fully heeded and the sister slipped from the station platform onto the tracks and was run over by a train.Appalled and frightened, William could not return home to tell his parents of the mishap. Instead, he fled from Glasgow, made his way to a seaport and signed on as a cabin boy on a merchant ship. His parents lost two children that day and would never know what happened to William.

William grew to an adult and in later years was in the Pacific aboard a ship that engaged in the transportation of natives from the New Hebrides to serve as laborers on plantations on various islands of the seas. Two of these islands were Upolu and Savai'i. Eventually, William opted to retire from the sea and settle in Western Samoa in the village of Sataua on the island of Savai'i.

He took Uputaua Fuiono Falemalu to wife and they had 4 sons and 2 daughters: William Lesa, John Tuiloma, Robert Lope, Alexander Sane, Janet, and Margaret. He had long red hair, a beard, and wore a ring in an earlobe. He became affluent and was one of the more prominent European landowners.

After the death of Uputaua he took to wife Pauline Mosese. Three sons were born and died young. Surviving was son number 4, Joseph William Crichton, and sister Katy Crichton.

According to a missionary record he was the first white man to be baptized in the LDS church in Samoa during his old age and was blind at his death. He was a contemporary of the renowned author Robert Louis Stevenson of Edinburgh, Scotland who settled in Vailima, Samoa in 1890."

Back in the mid-60's, Don left Enfield, CT for 'Hollywood'. He talked to my mom about his big plans before leaving. I think he taught my sisters' dance classes.
Other Enfield celebrities: John Ashton (Beverly Hills Cop), Johnny April (Staind), John Foxe (Blair Witch Project), Peter King (Sports Illustrated & TV), Paul Robeson, Billy Spanswick (Boston Red Sox), and Chris Ranta (award winning movie producer). I fed John, I walked Peter to grade school, and I babysat for Chris.

Thomas CRICHTON / Isobel FORRESTER

BeckyHolaway — 2011-04-05 01:08:18Z

I am looking for information regarding the parentage of Thomas Crichton (Crightoun) and/or Isobel Forrester.
According to Midlothian Parish Records, they were married in Milhill, Scotland on 30 Aug 1741. She is noted as being the daughter the late James Forrester of Milhill.

I have been trying for a number of years to find out the parentage of my ggg-grandmother, Helen Crichton Haines (born in 1818) of Sanquar, Scotland, who married Charles Thomas Haines (b. 1819) of Mallow, Cork, Ireland. I have a strong hunch that Thomas and Isobel Crichton may have been her grandparents (Charles and Helen named their first-born twins Thomas and Isabella). Any information would be so greatly appreciated! Thank you! Becky Holaway

donmatson63 — 2010-06-21 14:15:01Z

Goesz,
Was hoping to finally get some info. on Don Crichton's background, but you are the first who has answered, but with no info. I looked all over Google.com for any info. on his background, absolutely zero, like he doesn't want anyone to know anything. I'm not wanting to know anything that personal about him, but just to get a starting point, like his birthdate & where & parent's names.
Thanks
Don

Wilfred Crichton Pianist and Actor

windyhill137 — 2010-03-03 21:29:27Z

I am trying to find descendants of my maternal grandmother Doris Ethel Laura Crichton (married name Bradley). Her parents worked for a traveling theatre company in ireland from around 1900 to 1930. They were born in England. I am unsure exactly when they moved to Ireland, but it was around 1900. My Granny was born in Dungannon, Northern Ireland (probably when the company was passing through) in 1906. Her father Wilfred Crichton was born around 1866 (died 1938). Her mother was Emily Lloyd, born in England 1870. Mt Granny was fostered so new little of her parents heritage. i only have fragments.

Re: Crichton/Wilken/Mackie/Findlay from Aberdeenshire

HelenMildon45 — 2009-03-29 18:32:44Z

Thanks for keeping me posted. I was not surprised about Christian as James Crichton was the son of John Crighton and Christian Greig. I've had no luck going back any further than that.
The other surnames you mentioned do not coincide with any of mine. Thanks for looking at the Findlay. The only Barbara Findlay I have married my GG Grandfather George Crichton...and the dates are off.
I supposed their marriage (James & Eliz) was listed initially as 1835 as Mary was born in 1836!!! If you have a chance to send me the info from Scotlands people, I would appreciate it. My regular e-mail is: hmildon1@sympatico.ca. Thank you.

Re: Crichton/Wilken/Mackie/Findlay from Aberdeenshire

artie76 — 2009-03-29 18:20:59Z

Helen, you were right abt Christian - I just got the page with a lot of the Crichton children on it, and Christian's marriage to James Cheyne. Christian it is!

I have Stitt, Todd, Falls, Gillis (McGillis), McCoy, Poole, Walker, Thompson, Alexander, and more in Ontario, Sask, Alberta, and BC.

If you'd like the documents from ScotlandsPeople, let me know.

On the page with James Crichton marrying Elizabeth Mackie, there is an Alexander Smith marrying Barbara Findlay on Jun 20, 1835

Re: Crichton/Wilken/Mackie/Findlay from Aberdeenshire

HelenMildon45 — 2009-03-29 17:48:10Z

You can add the following to your list.
Mary Crichton born 18 Jul 1836
James Crichton born 12 Jan 1838
George Crichton born 18 Dec 1839 (he must have died young)
Jean Crichton 31 Jan 1841
William Crichton born 14 Jan 1843
Elizabeth Grant Crichton born 07 Nov 1845
John Crichton born 18 Jan 1847
Rachel Crichton born 03 Feb 1849
Christian (Christina) Crichton born 08 Apr 1851
Robert Crichton born 21 Apr 1853
George Crichton (my connection) born 29 Jun 1855

Hope this helps....Helen Crichton Mildon

Re: Crichton/Wilken/Mackie/Findlay from Aberdeenshire

I had the 1835 date too until I got the listing from ScotlandsPeople today. Christina married James Cheyne and one fo their kids, James married Isabella Cruickshank. Isabella died in Rosetown, Sask and I'm related through her dau Isabella.

I only have Christina listed for children so far.

Re: Crichton/Wilken/Mackie/Findlay from Aberdeenshire

HelenMildon45 — 2009-03-29 17:15:50Z

Wonderful!!! We definitely have a connection. The only differences are that I have James and Elizabeth being married on the June 9th date in 1835 and the other is that rather than Christina, I have the name Christian. Otherwise, the info is the same. Visited Benwells when I was in Scotland a couple of years ago. Original homestead is still standing. Farm is operational. Would love to hear more!!! My GG Grandfather was George, the son of James and Elizabeth. He had a son James, my grandfather who emigrated to Canada in early 1900's and my father Leslie was born here (in Canada) in 1913.
