I'm looking for any descendants from Henry and Ann Williams. (Craner) (Born 1831) I believe their grand-daughter was my grand-mother. :-)

You need to confirm the relationship before pursuing any possible links....especially the intervening generation. And with such a common surname..............

One assumes you have location details?

WHO was your grandmother?

When and where was she born?

Which child of Henry and Ann do you think was the parent of your grandmother?

It isn't wise - or helpful - to 'skip' generations in FH

ANN is in a GR member's tree...............try to get in touch.

I note she isn't in yours............... one of the best ways to find connections on here is to put your tree on the site.

PM received.....have told Angela that I am copying it here

Henry and Ann had a son Francis (Born 1860) I believe he was my grandmothers father. Francis married Elizabeth Garfield in 1880. They also had three sons who all emigrated to America in 1908. This is all new to me but the above info is correct as have it written in an old copy of Pilgrims Progress!!

You haven't said who your grandmother was, or when and where she was born.

Do you have any certificates relating to her?
