The Descendants of George Crew & Mary Bailey
Generation No. 1
1. GEORGE1 CREW was born Abt. 1811 in London, England (Death Certificate), and died 27 Feb 1900 in Main Street, Markham Village, York East, Ontario (Vital Statistics). He married MARY BAILEY 31 Aug 1843 in Prince Edward Island. She was born Abt. 1824 in Nova Scotia, and died Aug 1870 in Markham, York East, Ontario.
Notes for GEORGE CREW:
So far the parents of George Crew are unproven. More research is required to try to identify his parents. There seems little doubt that he is connected to all the other Crews who settled in Lot 29, Prince Edward Island, during the 1820s - namely Daniel, Benjamin, Joseph and an older George Crew. One of today�s descendants of this young George claims that family tradition says that George came from Leeds, England to North America and that George and Daniel were brothers [who later moved to Canada West (Ontario)].

Notes for CHARLES CREW:
There is some confusion as to who are the parents of Charles Crew. Whereas, his parents were listed as George and Eliza Crew on Charles' marriage certificate. Today, a relative says that Ellen (Helen) Crew was Charles' mother and apparently her fiancé was killed before they were married. As for the persons named in the marriage certificate, George Crew may have been the grandfather, not the father, and Eliza could have been George's daughter. The truth of Charles' parentage is unclear and unproven at this point.
