Cruddace, Crudace, Croudace, Cruddas

[babybutterfly]

Thanks for all that claire,

ive been doing some more digging, trying to find more on James, and i have come across a daughter born to Robert and Martha in 1821, same area, Cockfield, that James was from.
The info i have on James, is from his marriage cert.
Im starting to think maybe there was more than one marriage for Robert.

Il keep searching, and with any luck ill be able to order some cert's soon.

Any luck with your William yet?

I have also found a Martha Croudace d of Robert and Martha (Husbandman) baptised May 17th 1829 in Cockfield p 216. This definitely doesn't fit in with Elizabeth but is a bit of a coincidence.

I realised I already got in touch with Cheryl before via Genes Renunited and she was having the same problems as me. Then ancestry crashed . But I will try again.....

Hi,

Glad to see you are making progress. I'm tied up for a few days but will try and keep a running brief on how you are both getting on.

Tracy, I'm not sure if you are getting into the BT's or not. They are not searchable and have to be manually accessed. The records for Staindrop are also available on there. Perhaps Claire will advise if you need help?

I noticed that you mentioned a possible second marriage for Robert to Martha. How about checking for a burial for Elizabeth around 1800 at Barnard Castle?

Regards,
Colin

Hi Colin,

Well from what i have found, it would appear that if this is the same Robert, he married Martha first, then married Elizabeth later.
Ive been sifting through all the burial entries for barnard Castle, Staindrop and Cockfield, but cant find anything for cruddace, or Cruddass or even Cruddice lol.

if they aren't the same person, they may be cousins, or maybe related in some other way, ill have to search hard for this one i think.

What are the "BT's" sorry blonde moment lol

Tracy

[littleclaire]

BT's are the Bishops Transcripts - the pages where I found the baptisms etc......(that I think you are looking through now?)

Not a blonde moment....

I searched on www.durhamrecordsonline.com and I found a marriage for a Robert Cruddas born Cockfield in the Teesdale district. I can't unfortunately find it on the transcripts to find the wife. It costs to get the details on durham records online, but it could be the Robert Elizabeth marriage you are looking for (of course it might not be.....)

I need to get on and sort stuff for going away now - I'm off for a couple of weeks but will keep an eye out.....

Claire

modified - the marriage is in 1833 which would fit in with the details we have so far

[babybutterfly]

Thats brilliant Claire, ill go check it out now.
my head is spinning trying to piece all this together lol.

Have a good time on your hols, ill keep you both posted as to if i find out more.

thanks again for all your help

Hello Colin, I am a 'newbie' to the site and have come across your mails re yr surname. My Great,Great Grandmother was Tamar Cruddas b 1810, Middleton in Teesdale, have you come across this name in yr research?
I have not been able to get beyond her marriage and family to her parents, she did have a son-in-law Thomas Cruddas who married Tamar's daughter Isabella in 1852 and he came from Patterdale, Westmorland so I had wondered if that was where some of Tamar's family originated.
Would I 1) get this info from Durham Records
             2)  is it easy to access
             3)  is it costly?
Hope you can help, thank you. Genie.
