Searching for the Crudges!!
« on: Wednesday 29 October 14 16:18 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone,

I am drawing a blank so hoping to get some help from you lovely people.
I am descended from a lady called Hannah CRUDGE who was born 1735 in the Isles of Scilly and married a Hugh TREGARTHEN.
I am trying to trace her ancestors as rumour in the family has always had it that we are descended from the GODOLPHINS of Cornwall through her dad William CRUDGE (b around 1700) and then his parents were purportedlt John CRUDGE and Ursula GODOLPHIN.

Is there anyone out there who can help me shed light on these rumours at all??

Keen to hear from any distant relatives out there :)

Also a piece of Geni (.com):

Ursula Crudge (Godolphin)
Birthdate:    
Death:    (Date and location unknown)
Immediate Family:    

Daughter of Sir Francis Godolphin, Kt., MP and Margaret Godolphin
Wife of John Crudge
Mother of William Crudge
Sister of Blanche Godolphin; Sir William Godolphin, MP; Sir Francis Godolphin, MP; Jane Basset; Thomasine Carew and 3 others


This Ursula was apparently born in 1575 that seems a bit strange for William's grandmother?! ???

The opc database has a burial for Ursula Crudge in Gulval in May 1601.

Not all early registers have been transcribed even if they do survive. According to a note in another volume, the registers of the Scilly Isles before 1726 were lost in a fire at the house of Mr. William Crudge in Holy Vale in 1701.

Hannah married Hugh Tregerthen in December 1754. You can see the register on FamilySearch

There's also a John Crudge of the Commisary who could could be an older brother.

As the family are of high enough standing to be referred to as Mr. and Mrs., you would think that they would leave wills. But nothing showing up in Cornwall Record Office catalogue. If they held land in other counties as well, wills would be at the National Archives.

There is one for John Grudge of Gulval in 1612, but it's an administration so won't name all the children. The will of Thomas Crudge of Madron from 1621-2, may be of more help if he was the father of John as it may name any grandchildren.
