Craig William Manners, was born on 4th April 1965 in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia into a family with a distinguished history spanning six generations of Manners in Australia, having branched out from the line of Manners families in the United Kingdom, whose rich history includes a family member arriving in England as a flag-bearer with William the Conqueror in 1066, as recorded in the Doomsday Book completed in 1086.
The Manners family history from there includes the Duke of Rutland Manners of Belvoir Castle, as well as Charles Manners-Sutton, a bishop in the Church of England who served as the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1805 to 1828. In 1819, he presided over the christening of the future Queen Victoria at Kensington Palace. He died at Lambeth on 21 July 1828, and was buried on 29 July at Addington, in a family vault.[9]
His son was the Speaker of the House of Commons, see Charles Manners-Sutton, 1st Viscount Canterbury from 1817-1835.
Father: Ronald Brown Manners (8/1/1936 Kalgoorlie WA) and Mother: Lorraine Joyce Manners (nee Williams, 10/7/1939 Home Hill QLD), siblings Ian (1962), Scott (1963) and Sarah (1967).
Craig’s Australian forebears arrived in Melbourne and moved with the gold discoveries to Ballarat, Kanowna and then into Kalgoorlie in 1893. Craig moved from Kalgoorlie to Perth in 1993, then from Perth to Melbourne in 1997 to assist WA investment bank Hartley Poyntons Limited to establish a Melbourne branch.
Craig is married to Jayni (nee Andrusiak, 1973) with five children, Joshua (2001), Caleb (2003), Daniel (2005), Benjamin (2007) and Jonathan (2010); and two grandchildren, twins Noah and Ivy (2023)
