THIS SURNAME IS OFTEN NOT SPELT RIGHT. IT TOOK ME AGES TO FIND MARGARET JANE CRUDDACE B1849 POINTER DURHAM. EVERY DOCUMENT READ ANOTHER SPELLING. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GO FUTHER BACK THAN 1871 CENSUS WHERE I FOUND HER LIVING WITH HER HUSBAND WILLIAM OLIVER. BROTHER ROBERT. AND A MARY AGE 12. IF ANYONE HAS ANY LUCK PLEASE LET ME KNOW

I'm confused. Is Cruddace her maiden or married name? She can't have a brother and husband with the same surname. What are the other names? Also I can't find a Pointer Durham. Margaret

Is this them in 1861? James Cruddes James, Ann abt 1859 Tottenham, Durham, England Son Coundon Durham View Record Johana Cruddes James, Ann abt 1844 Wingate Grange, Durham, England Daughter Coundon Durham View Record Margaret Cruddes James, Ann abt 1846 Coxhoe, Durham, England Daughter Coundon Durham View Record Robert Cruddes James, Ann abt 1842 Cockfield, Durham, England Son Coundon Durham Jennifer

I assume that this is the 1871 one with some horrible mistranscriptions Name: Margaret Jane Olliver Age: 22 Estimated birth year: abt 1849 Relation: Wife Spouse's name: William Gender: Female Where born: Belmont, Durham, England Civil parish: Easington Ecclesiastical parish: Shotton Town: Haswell Moor County/Island: Durham Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Disability: View image Registration district: Easington Sub-registration district: Easington ED, institution, or vessel: 1 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 248 Household Members: Name Age Robert Crandell 26 Margaret Jane Olliver 22 William Olliver 31 Mary Ellen Shafftortton 12

My apologies, didn't realize that Oliver was the surname, thought it was a middle name. I see on the 71 census it says that Margaret was born Belmont, Durham. Margaret

is this too late to be her Margaret Crudace Event(s): Birth: 20 NOV 1850 Stockton, Durham, England Christening: Death: Burial: Parents: Father: Peter Crudace Family Mother: Elizabeth Mellanby That is submitted. --------------------- extracted parents are Parents: Father: Peter Crudace Family Mother: Mellanby Crudace

This is the marriage of Margaret and William Margaret Jane Croudace 1865 Apr-May-Jun Sunderland Durham, Tyne and Wear View Record Margaret Jane Croudice 1865 Apr-May-Jun Sunderland Durham, Tyne and Wear View Record Catherine Flin 1865 Apr-May-Jun Sunderland Durham, Tyne and Wear View Record William Oliver 1865 Apr-May-Jun Sunderland Durham, Tyne and Wear View Record John Ovington 1865 Apr-May-Jun Sunderland Durham, Tyne and Wear She was married very young

I think this will be her birth Name: Margaret Jane Croudace Year of Registration: 1848 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep District: Houghton Le Spring County: Durham Volume: 24 Page: 193 (click to see others on page) The registration district ties in to the fact that she gives West Rainton as her place of birth in 1891 and that is in the area - thanks Streetmap:-)))

How about this one for 1851 Name: Mary Jane Croudace Age: 2 Estimated birth year: abt 1849 Relation: Daughter Father's name: John Mother's name: Ann Gender: Female Where born: Moor House, Durham, England Civil parish: Moor House Ecclesiastical parish: West Rainton County/Island: Durham Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Disability: View image Registration district: Houghton Le Spring Sub-registration district: Houghton ED, institution, or vessel: 7 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 10 Household Members: Name Age Ann Croudace 39 John Croudace 45 John Croudace 9 Mary Ann Croudace 11 Mary Jane Croudace 2 Thomas Croudace 6 I know it says Mary Jane and that is on the image but there is already a Mary Ann and the enumerator might have misread 'Marg' as 'Mary'. It is the right area

Ad finally 1861 Name: M J Candace [Mary Jane Croudace] Age: 12 Estimated birth year: abt 1849 Relation: Daughter Father's name: John Mother's name: A Gender: Female Where born: Ranton, Durham, England Civil parish: Monk Hesledon County/Island: Durham Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: View image Registration district: Easington Sub-registration district: Easington ED, institution, or vessel: 1 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 13 Household Members: Name Age A Candace 49 John Candace 54 M J Candace 12 R Candace 9 This is the same family as the 1851 - father John was born Barnard Castle and Ann in Sherburn. Somebody obviously knows the family as they have corrected the Ancestry record.
