<p><br/> Over the last few weeks I have been undertaking quite a lot of research into Cree/Crie family history in Scotland with the help of the Old Parish Registers, civil registration and census records. At times it seemed like a jigsaw puzzle with a few thousand pieces and it became overwhelming trying to relate one Cree individual and family to another, and often failing. <br/><br/> Today, however, I had an idea about how to put Cree family history into perspective compared to the huge problems faced by those with other surnames. The positive aspect of census material is that its collection was quite controlled in the past inasmuch as participation was compulsory rather than voluntary. Some years ago Mike undertook a census of Scottish Cree/Crie families 1694-1720 (<a href="http://www.cree.name/distribution/scotcensus1694.pdf">http://www.cree.name/distribution/scotcensus1694.pdf</a>) to obtain a snapshot of the overall number of Cree families in existence in Scotland at that time. My idea was simply, with the help of Ancestry, to use the 1841 - 1901 censuses to determine the number of Cree/Crie male headed households in Scotland at each period, a similar snapshot approach. The method is certainly not scientific and open to error but I believe that it provides a simple way to see if we can connect every Cree family in the Scottish censuses with Cree families in the pre-census or Old Parish Register era. The search was undertaken for each census year using the exact spelling of Cree or Crie, male, head of households. The results, I believe, are extremely interesting. The focus is on Scotland but Cree migrations to England from Scotland and Ireland are taken into account. <br/><br/> The number of male Cree headed households in Scotland for each census were as follows:<br/><br/> 1901 (101), 1891 (80), 1881 (76), 1871 (54), 1861 (57), 1851 (46), and 1841 (112 males including children).<br/><br/> The number of male Crie headed households in Scotland for each census were as follows:<br/><br/> 1901 (3), 1891 (1), 1881 (0), 1871 (0), 1861 (1), 1851 (1) and 1841 (11 males including children). <br/><br/> The number of Cree headed households in Scotland who were born in Ireland were as follows:<br/><br/> 1901 (3), 1891 (2), 1881 (2), 1871 (0), 1861 (0), 1851 (0), 1841 (1)<br/><br/> Clearly significant migrations from Scotland to the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere took place after and prior to 1841. However, the aim of the current project is to try to connect the Cree/Crie families that did not migrate from Scotland to the pre-census Cree/Crie families. It could be thought that extensive migration from Scotland to England could mask the number of families of Scottish origin. <br/><br/> The number of Cree headed households in England for each census were as follows:<br/><br/> 1901 (95), 1891 (84), 1881 (86), 1871 (49), 1861 (51), 1851 (40) and 1841 (102 males).<br/><br/> However within these totals we can determine how many Cree in the England censuses were born in Scotland and Ireland, namely,<br/><br/> Scottish Birthplace<br/><br/> 1901, (11), 1891 (10), 1881 (6), 1871 (2), 1861 (1), 1851 (2)<br/><br/> Ireland Birthplace<br/><br/> 1901 (5), 1891 (4), 1881 (2), 1871 (5), 1861 (0), 1851 (2)<br/><br/> This would seem to indicate that Cree migration from Scotland to England in the period 1851-1881 was not particularly significant.<br/><br/> The really interesting result of this simplistic approach is that we are really only talking about a small number of distinct Cree families in Scotland in the period 1851 - 1871, namely 46, 57 and 54. We always new the number would be small but perhaps not this small. To put things in perspective at each census you could actually put all of the Cree heads of household onto a single bus and many of them would be brothers! This is extremely encouraging since we should be able to fill in many of the existing gaps in our Scottish family history.<br/><br/></p> The Origin of the Name Creetag:creefhs.ning.com,2012-03-30:6495740:Topic:1402012-03-30T14:28:20.414ZTrevor Creehttps://creefhs.ning.com/profile/3e53xgjsv0aum
<p>The <a href="http://www.cree.name">www.cree.name</a> website has a specific section on the origins of the word and surname Cree. It would appear that a number are valid in a different context. The exchange of views in The London Illustrated News demonstrates how heated the debate can become.</p>
