Samuel dob and his death please

If that marriage is correct then you're going to need to do some research on Scotland's People http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/. It's not a subscription site, you'll need to buy credits but they're quite reasonable.

I'd start by searching for Jeannie's birth to get more info on her parents at the time. The marriage names her mother as Jean Murdoch so you can look for a marriage between Samuel Crawford and her to get more info on their ages and parents.

ggrandmother jean Murdoch was married to sam Crawford and that's who were chasin...have photos but no family history ! have a diary medals service recordsbut nothing about him

Earl of Crawford he was related too and the ancestral home was Carlisle...... but no dob or death or what happened to him

Fondy, as I said earlier - you need to use Scotland's People to find his marriage, get more info as to his parents. Find his birth then we might have a chance of finding his death if we have an accurate year of birth to work from.
