Thomas CRUSE

[paul1947]

I am trying to find some information on Thomas CRUSE born c Mar 1841 POUGHILL , Cornwall.

He is shown in the 1881 census to have originated from Poughill. The marriage cert for his son Thomas Alwyne CRUSE shows The father's occupation to be a Harbour Master. No info on where though.

Previously he was a Police Officer. Does anyone know if it is possible to check if he was , in fact , a harbour master and where this would have been.

Any info on the Cruse family will be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Paul Evans

I had just come back to write the same thing !!!!

Poughill is near to Kilkhampton.

Never forget not all births were registered that early on .This may be one case of that.

In the 1871 census the family is in Newlyn and Thomas is again a Police Officer.

Me and Wozzle are on the same thought train.

In 1901 he is a retired police officer in St Just in Roseland so may well have become a harbour master then.
