Mary Crabb and
George Harwood Have copy of Parish Church marriage provided by distant cousin Olga kaiser; Book 13, Page 183, Item no. 363. Both the bride and groom lived on Rosemore Road at the time of their wedding. Witnessed by John Henry Nayler's(sp.?) and Mary Harwood. It was also witnessed by Mary Harwood, who may have been George's younger sister.? Need to research the Census for that area. Mary Crabb Info on name, birth, death, and parents provided by distant cousin Debra Sue Litchfield. I have personal reference to the name 'CRABBE' or 'CRABB' either from photos and/or from Littleport census data. I need to do further research (April 8, 1996).
She is burried in the Harrington Road Cemetery with her husband George and her son George Thomas. Her inscription reads 'Mary, his wife who died Aug 8th 1924 Aged 78 Years'.
I have a photo which states on the back 'Polly Crabbe'; since the name Polly is a nickname for Mary and the photo is similar to an earlier photo with George Harwood and family they might be one and the same.
