M Inscriptions for Lanchester

[Colin Cruddace]

Hi Adam,
Thanks very much for the Croudace inscriptions.

I have the burial details so it's great to confirm the family connections. One that I didn't know about was Elis (Elisabeth?) possible wife of James, so I'm grateful for that as well.

Regards,
Colin

Hello Colin. I do not usually put into the replies anything but the essential information, but I thought I had to come back to this one.
This is a eulogy to their father Robert Croudace of Langley.(posted yesterday)

His mind soared above the common level of mankind, his understanding was inferior to none, and the pains he took to cultivate it enabled him to know the real value of education, and it was his study to communicate it to others:
His sons now feel the comfortable effects of his paternal care which more than compensate the want of riches, and place them above the wrecks of fortitude.
They have erected this stone as a tribute of respect, for his memory, and their sense of his virtues as a father.

Hi Adam

Thanks for taking the trouble, it is very kind of you, unfortunately this family doesn't seem to belong to any of my Hornsbys at the moment.
