It's the little "snippits" we find today, that make all the difference
Viola
How many times have I heard "If only I had asked more questions of the living".
My grandmother for instance, could remember her mother talking about her experiences
as a young child during the potato famine.
All these memories were taken to the grave. So many opportunities missed, never to come
again!
However through hard work and diligence we can rebuild their lives, if only in part.
best regards
Robert

That is another mystery solved.
One of that Trotter family descendants married a Thorpe who is descended from Jeffers the
Turnkey of Enniskillen gaol, and she was my Matron of Honour. My father told me at the
time that she could be related, but 60 years ago I was not into Family Research.
I wish I had been, because my Father was. Fount of knowledge about the Crozier's.
Likewise my mother and her siblings discussed the Clark / Clarke Family History.
I wish I had taken notes. But we all become wise after the opportunity has been missed.

One Crozier "Tomb", as Steel refers to it
"Here lieth the body of Margaret Crozier espoused to James Trotter who departed this
life on September the 11th 1722 aged 40 years {Born 1682}
{At the top of this old stone is a crest which appears to represent a thistle in flower
rising from a crescent
Have no idea what that means. Very cryptic!!}
