The Crabb Family of Loders

The Post Office And Village c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

My name is Lois Cunningham and after researching my family history some of which I already knew and a lot of which I didn't - I have managed to trace back my branch of The Crabb Family back to Loders around 1696. My maternal great-great grandmother married into the Crabb family in the early 1800s and went on to reside in the Channel Islands before moving with the family up to Liverpool where my grandmother was brought up. I will be travelling south in a couple of weeks time for my daughter's wedding near Bath and hope to have time to visit the area and try and find out more of my Crabb family connection.

RE: RE: The Crabb Family of Loders

Hi Natalie - thanks for your message. There could be a connection because when my great grandma's family moved to Liverpool around 1875 some of the other children came with her, but your boyfriend needs to do some research if he's interested. There are a whole load more Crabbs still living in Loders and they are all related in one way or another. So your boyfriend and me could be long lost relatives!! Also, my previous name before I was married was Smith - what a coincidence!!

Hey, my boyfriend's name is Ryan Crabb, he's from Liverpool. He is 33, he doesn't know much of his Crabb family. His dad is called John Crabb, Iwonder if they are related? xx
