I am quite willing to let you add any details that I have to the Cracknell page. Here are the certificates that I have, Henry and Jane's Marriage, Henry's Death, and Jane's Death

14 April 1873 at Amherst Hospital - Harry Cracknell -40 years Cause of Death Abscess of Liver and Dysentry Parents "Unknown"
Buried at the Amherst Cemetery, died 11 April 1873 married to Jane Cumming and in the issue column it has "No Issue" which is strange as the witness to the burial was his eldest son Robert !!
Robert was only 16 or 17, obviously shocked at his father dying.

I had found the Henry Cracknell d. 40, 1873, parents unknown, record in the Pioneers
Index, some time ago, and was interested in it.
As I may have told you, my ancestor Sam Cracknell and wife Judith nee Mobbs, married in Kenninghall, Norfolk. James was born 1832, Harriet, 1834, Charles 1839, Sam 1847, so you see there are a few gaps.
Samuel and his wife and 5 children arrived in Adelaide in 1848 on The Duke of Bedford. No records, only the Newspaper report, from our end of the line anyway. I have tracked down James, Harriet, Charles and Sam, and I need another!! Henry's birth year fits in
very nicely, so I have more than my fingers crossed!!!!!
Parish Transcripts have been
searched, but with no luck. James and Sam both came to Victoria, Harriet and Charles remained in S.A. There were other children born in S.A. 2 did not survive infancy (Emily and Sarah) then there was Ellen, Frederick and John.
You can see that the names of Henry & Janes children follow a remarkably similar naming.
Sam had a brother Robert, and a sister Ann.
I have been able to follow their line back a few generations. They are not originally from Norfolk, as the William and Mary moved there around 1747 from Suffolk, where William was born in 1714. His parents were married in 1706, and now I am trying to establish when the father was born and where.
We hope to be able to go to England next March to follow some of this up, so I would like to be able to establish if Henry is my missing child.
Sorry Lois, we now know he is a different line.
