Hi
I was wondering if some kind soul - with a lot more knowledge that I - could find my husbands paternal grandfather and his ancestors????
His name was Cyril Edward Scrase b: 31/10/1912, d: 2/1/1945. He was a commisioned officer (I think) in the 1st Batallion of the Royal Sussex army regiment. He had 2 brothers Frank - who was in the Navy - and Reginald - Army (Royal Sussex) - and 1 sister Dorothy.
Cyril married Frances Florence Clare Blencowe. I have her family ok but can't seem to get a lead on him !
Any clues ???
Thanks,
Sandie

Have you got his marraige cert? that would give you his dad's name.
On FreeBMD there are LOTS of Scrases born in Sussex around the 1912 ish mark - but I can see no Cyril Edward.

Has a big Red + sign in FreeBMd, so only recently added ...
Births Dec 1912
Scrase Cyril E Finnigan Brighton Vol 2b Page 393
so now we need a Scrase marriage to a female Finnigan ....
-

-
Thats why its better to use FreeBMD !
:P

Here you are:-

FINNIGAN Clara Willard Brighton Vol 2b Page 439 to SCRASE Frank

Now you have a choice, altho the 1st chap is the most likely ...
Frank Scrase; Parents - Benjamin, Emily born c 1885 Brighton, Sussex
Frank Scrase; Parents Frederick, Elizabeth born c 1885 Ditchling, Sussex
Frank W B Scrase; Parents - Alfred P, Martha M born c 1887 Horsham, Sussex
You will have to obtain that Marriage cert to confirm the Fathers name against these finds ...

The bride to be is more straightforward, even giving her middle initial on the 1901 census ...
RG13/942; Folio: 32; Page: 4 - Parish of Preston, Shoreham area
54, Viaduct Road
Clara W Finnigan 16 Boarder HouseMaid - Domestic born Brighton
[There is a note that she did not sleep on the prmises, which is strange given the purpose of the census]
Thomas H Hillard 27 Head Electrician born Brighton
Emily S Hillard 24 Wife West Drayton

Hi Sandie,
Frances Florence Clare Blencowe was my first cousin, which thus means your husband & I are cousins too. ;D I don't have much info on hubby Cyril but do have much on the Blencowe line including our connection right back to 1308. Am happy to share if you want to PM or e-mail me. ;)
Regards,
Mark

Hi
Just browsing Scrase as my Gt Grandfather was reputed to have changed his name from Scrase, although I have yet to find evidence of this!
Anyway saw your message but see others have found what I have, although I found it on the FindmyPast site. (Tip: Since 1911 the birth records recorded the maiden name of mother)
I have found Cyril on the CWGC site. He was a Lieutenant in the Royal Sussex Regiment, service no. 199550. Buried at Patcham (All Saints) Churchyard extension.

Hello anyone who may be researching the Scrase families in Sussex, I am at the moment transcoding the FreeBMD scans covering 1924 4th.Quarter, and came across babies born Palmer,Philip L.C.,Mothers name Scrase, Lewes,2b,Page 221
& Parkes,Leslie,G.,Mothers Name Scrase, Brighton,2b,277
hopefully this might help any of you who are working with this family name. My reason for noticing this thread was that I hadn't seen the name Scrase before and wasn't sure if I had read the scans correctly.
Kindest regards

I am related to a Mary Scrase b. 1853 in Patcham, Brighton who married George William Blackman 18th March 1877 Patcham, Brighton. Would like to find more information of Mary. I believe her father was called William

I've recently found a Thomas Scrase, B 1812, married Phoebe Advad, B 1811, September 1839 in Keymer. As they're not on the direct line, I'm not spending any time on them at present.

Hi Mark
I was looking for Pipers and Dales on the net and found what you had put on in 06. I tried to contact you, but had to register, and, when I had done that, I kept getting shifted to Ancestry. So I got started the only way I could think of.
My husband is the great grandson of Emma Piper. Emma married George Albert Stone of West Grinstead. Emma and George moved to Ontario. My husband was born in Toronto. I expect you have learned a lot more about the Dale's and Piper's since 06. We are interested in any information about the families.
Hoping to hear from you.

Hi Scrase Researchers,
Apologies if this is old news, but you might be interested in volume 8 of the Sussex Archaeological Collections - it has a "genealogical memoir" of the Scrase family. The whole volume can be downloaded from the Internet Archive site.
http://www.archive.org/details/sussexarchaeolo56socigoog
Note that it's one of the site's "Google books" - that means if you want the PDF for download you are taken to the Google site.
But that doesn't always work (although it well might work in this case). If it doesn't work click the All Files: HTTP link and you will then find a link to the PDF file on the Internet Archive site.
HTH,
