The Crabb Database

To avoid any possible problems with copyright much of this database is not available for on-line searching but I will respond as quickly as possible to any emailed requests for lookups. Information from this database is only available to genuine amateur family researchers and cannot be used for any commercial gain whatsoever. To ensure that this principle is honoured large-scale extracts of data will not be supplied.
