The above was one of 2 daughters and a son of Frank Cruse 1880-1940 and Elizabeth Mary Waymark 1880-1962; she married Frederick Harold Thomas b 29 Jun 1904 in Q3 1926 Eastbourne, they had 2 children b there 1927/29. Both Edith and Frederick appear on the 1939 register at 8 Victoria Drive, Eastbourne but I can't find any records after that for them?

Two daughters born 1927 and 1929.  Have you found any marriages etc for them?

There is a Fred H Thomas death in Solihull in 1963 aged 59 but probably not him

Anything for Frederick on the cwgc  site?

[CaroleW]

There is an Edith M Thomas marriage in 1947 Eastbourne to Eustace A Dodd but she may be the Edith Marion Dodd born 1909 who died Eastbourne 1986

So CaroleW inconclusive research;problem with daughters is the commonness of their surname.

with daughters is the commonness of their surname.

Even though they have not quite so common christian names I can't see any marriages in Sussex or any deaths for any of them.

Emigration may be a possibility but can't see anything obvious

Another mystery....
