Title: Croudace Family Monmouthshire
Post by: Croudaces on Monday 15 September 08 02:21 BST (UK)
I am researching the Croudace / Crowdace family in Monmouthshire. I would be happy to share any information. I have extensive records.

I'd be very interested in anything you've found out about the Croudaces of Monmouth - My grandmother was Laura May Croudace and her mother was Gertrude Croudace married to William Croudace.

I have hit a bit of a dead end with William Croudace so if you happen to have anything it would be very interesting!

Many thanks

Hi

We are distant relatives.

I believe I have records of all the Croudaces in Monmouth.
I did have Laura May in my tree but couldn't link her as I only had her birth record.
I only have one William that would be a match. He was born in 1884 to William F Croudace ( 1860 - 1928 ), his mother was an Emily Jones. William had one other full sibling, and their mother died very young at 23. William F remarried and went on to have several other children with his wife Alice.
William Fs father was John W Croudace ( 1837 - 1925 ) and his mother was Emma. John W's father was John Croudace who was married to Mary Ann Morgan.

I'd love to hear from you off the board, you are the first member of the family I have come across.

Welcome to Rootschat, Blucanary  :)

Glad to hear you have found a link with a fellow Rootschatter!

You will probably need to post a few more times before you can use the Personal Message system to exchange email addresses or other info with Croudaces.

Kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

Brilliant - thank you - great to hear someone has found something:

If this ties in then you should have five children from William Croudace and Gertrude Athow:
Laura May Croudace (b.1907), Margaret(?), Glynn, Lena and Mark. All have passed away now.

I believe (if I've got this right) William died somewhere in the 1930s/40 - fairly young and Gertrude remarried but with no further children. The family all lived on the Kymin, my grandmother used to talk of three different branches of the family all based in monmouth.

Where does your piece of the family sit? I think the Monmouth Croudaces are a complicated bunch!

All the best

John Croudace and Mary Ann Morgan started the Monmouth Croudaces.

They had three sons:
John W, Charles Henry and Thomas James.

I am descended from Charles Henrys son, George Edward, who was my grandfathers father.

They are a complicated bunch, mainly thanks to the absolutely bonkers transcriptions of the names on the census.

Thanks for the information.

Post by: blucanary on Wednesday 31 December 08 18:39 GMT (UK)
That's fascinating! Where did they come from? (if you don't mind me being nosey!)

Does that help fit Laura May Croudace in? All my line have now moved from Monmouth or sadly passed away (their home on the Kymin has been knocked down by now I think)

Would definitely be great to carry on this and see if it all fits together! The three different lines seem to make sense of what my grandmother used to say (three branches in three different parts of monmouth)

Happy New Year distant relative
All the very best
Matt

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.

Hello Listers

Any information out there on Harry Croudace who died in Pontypool in 1980.

I think he was living Newcastle upon Tyne prior to his death

Thanks All

Hi, Jasper6bears before we can help you we need to know what exactly you are looking for and what information you already have :)

ps i think you may also need to start a new thread so you dont hijack this one 

Moderator comment: it's a very unusual name, so I disagree on this occasion - might be that the OP can help?

Hi,
just wandering have you found a Dorothy Croudace, she's past away now
Title: Re: Croudace Family Monmouthshire
Post by: RCB on Wednesday 21 December 11 17:49 GMT (UK)
I imagine you know Croudaces are still in the town (Monmouth) If nobody is local I may be able to help.  The Forest of Dean web site has parish records for Dixton and Wyesham which will surely have Croudaces.

My Mother attended the school in Goldwire Lane Monmouth in the 1930's. I remember her saying her teacher was a Miss Croudace. I do not recall her first name. will check with my Mother and let you know.

Title: Re: Croudace Family Monmouthshire
Post by: RCB on Tuesday 03 January 12 21:21 GMT (UK)
Miss Croudace probably moved to teach at the Priory Street Boys school, she was close to retirement when I went there in the mid 50's  Her husband ran a building and decorating firm in St James Square.  There are photo's on the Monmouth group facebook page.
Title: Re: Croudace Family Monmouthshire
Post by: lazydaisy on Sunday 15 January 12 14:48 GMT (UK)
Hello
Have been speaking with my Mother about Miss Croudace the teacher in Goldwire Lane school Monmouth.  This is what I have learned:
Miss Croudace first names were Philys (not sure of spelling) Grace & Mum thinks she was born about 1907 and started teaching in Goldwire Lane about 1924/25. Apparently Miss Croudace was an excellent teacher, well liked and respected by the pupils. Miss Croudace taught at Goldwire Lane with a Miss Kathleen Hazel Evans who came from Merthyr Tydful

Mum doesnt know anything about Miss Croudace being married - but my Mother left Monmouth late 1940's - so possibly Miss Croudace married after then.

Miss Croudace had a brother by the name of Bob. Bob's wifes name not known but there were 2 children. Names are known but I havent included them for privacy reasons

Miss Croudace was a member of painting and decorating (builders?) family.

A branch of the Croudace family lived on Drybridge street.

Miss Croudace has a very good singing voice - contralto. My Mother remembers some kind of campaign during WW2 - possibly a savings campaign. There was a 'street celebration' to help raise funds/ publicity, apparently Miss Croudace stood at the top of Monnow Street ( Agincourt Sq end) and sang ' Land of Hope & Glory'. Mum says even thinking of it now makes the hairs on the back of her neck stand up.

Mum also says thanks for placing the query. She says she is recalling things she probably hadnt thpught of since they had happened.

Hope this is helpful

Hello,
I have just found your thread about Croudace family from Monmouth. I am also related to this family which I am finding is quite complicated. William F Croudace (1858-1928  if my dates are correct) ,  is my Great Grandfather. I haven't got very far with my tree so any help would be fantastic and of course If I can be of any help to anyone else with my branch of the tree, then please let me know.

Hi smileyriley,  I have traced pretty much all the Monmouth Croudaces, some branches more complicated than others. I believe William F Had about 11 children between his two wives. I am happy to exchange info with distant cousins !

Hi Croudaces,
I am sorry that I haven't replied any sooner. I had in fact read your message and even remember tying a reply. I obviously didn't post it!!
I am a descendant of Harold & Agnes and live not too far away from Monmouth. I know my fathers family in Monmouth but as far as anyone else is concerned only know about whoever Dad remembers every now & then. Dad is very interested in the family tree and would love to know much more.

Dear all

This is my first post here, so please excuse me if I'm not fully up to speed with the forum protocols. I am the grandson of the late Marie Townsend, formerly Croudace, the sister of Mark and Glynn I believe. I'd love to be able to fill in some gaps in my family tree, so that I can pass on the information to my young daughters.

If anyone is able to help me out, please reply, and then I'll post a more detailed message of what the gaps are that I'm trying to fill in - thanks.

best wishes

Hi Graham

Sorry to be so slow, only come back to the family tree once in a while (imagine you may not see this for a while as well) but yes we are related, your grandmother and grandfather would have been my great aunt and uncle and my father remembers them fondly!

Do drop me a private message and I can share what info I have on the family tree.

Funny I should come across this thread, having this week visited Monmouth for the first time in 40-odd years. I was taught by Miss Phyllis Croudace at Priory Street in 1954-55; she was indeed an excellent teacher. She lived a few doors away from the Rolls Hall, at 14 St James Square, but I am not aware of her ever being married. She was born in 1906 and died in 1968. Hope this helps someone.

Hi Graham

I am trying to get hold of the person who handles Glynn Croudace's estate. I work for a publishing house and we would like to request permission to reproduce his work in an upcoming publication.

Hi Matt

What a stroke of luck!

I don't seem to be able to send private messages. I've just joined to find a contact for the Glynn's estate and I may not have the right sort of account. My work email address is cohend@macmillan.co.za.

I would be very grateful if you would kindly pass on my details to Glynn's daughter.
