thanks i am interested in any information you have re croudaces in monmouth especially like a lot of other people in linking them to other families in the north east of england.
at this time i am especially interested in a john croudace gentleman of bilston who married at st marys monmouth to louise helen tudor on the 17th august 1848.witness was a mary crowdace is she the same person stated in the census.
Fascinating, this could be a great lead for me.
Mary Crowdace was also a witness ( along with a James Crowdace ) to the wedding of Elizabeth Croudace to a William Pascoe in 1824 in Lydney, Gloucestershire.
Mary, as you probably know, was from Painshaw, Durham.
All the later Croudaces on the census can be traced to ' my ' John and his wife Mary Ann Morgan, unfortunately ' my ' John never appeared on the census, and ( I assume ) died, as Mary Ann remarried very shortly after the birth of her and Johns third son.
I did have record of a Louisa H who married a Crowdace but I did not have his information. She appears living in Staffordshire on the 1851 and 1871 census.
