Hi,
From Cornish Marriage Index..
Samuel CROGGAN married Jane EDEVEAN on 13th may 1785 at Creed
Samuel signed "Croggon"
Looked for Jane and found this extracted record on the IGI...
Jane EDYVEAN bapt. 15th Nov 1748 at Little Petherick, Cornwall
Parents John EDYVEAN and Joan
Near Padstow I think - Too early??
There is also a marriage for a Jane EDEVEAIN to a John HELLSTONE at Fowey in 1779 - is Fowey near Padstow? Might be the Jane born 1748?
I'll let you sort that out!!

Did you know that the Croggans at Grampound/Creed had a very old tannery which was in business until fairly recently? Very interesting buildings and history to the village which was once a "rotten borough"

There are Croggons living at the Old Rectory in Creed. I don't know if they are connected to the tannery.

As far as I know they are - I did some work there a few years ago. The buildings etc are fascinating

Both John Croggon of Grampound and I have family trees of the Croggons until at least the later 1970's BUT they are not on a computer (at least mine are not) although if there was sufficient interest I could do so, but not in five minutes! There are I believe about 120 Croggons in the world, spelled that way since at least the mid-sixteenth century, we can go back probably in Veryan Cornwall to about 1427. I at least have not included most of the Croggons who went to America about 1820 with 'Honest' Tom Croggon, the last man to be jailed at the bar of the House of Commons for attemtping to buy a parliamentary seat. Since the internet it is easy to find out more, and there are some in Austrlaia including one, an Alison Croggon, who is a famous author and dramatist. Peter Croggon

Thank you for replying.
Have you any ancestors for the Samuel CROGGAN who married Jane EDEVEAN on 13th May 1785 at Creed. This of course could have been her parish but not neccessarily his.
Just guessing but would think he was born circa 1759/64 .

All the Croggons originally came from Cornwall, the first recorded (we think) in about 1427 at Veryan then later at Tregony, Grampound and Creed. From memory, the link is John Croggon born in Grampound in 1780. who died as a shipwright in Portsmouth in 1860. All the Croggons in London descend from him, but the Croggons from Croggon & Co who were in the Great Exhibition of 1851 and the Croggons who took over Coade stone after the Coades died and was their relative, are another branch of the family, but they ALL came originally from Cornwall. In the mid 1970's I collaborated with John Croggon of the Tannery at Grampound regarding the family tree. He and others had produce a tree up to then for the Cornish branch and I (starting from scratch) complied one for the rest. The John Croggon referred to above was the missing link. It is of course now much easier for anyone to have a go for themselves and find out a lot. My tree is hand written on eight sheets of foolscap. I do not remember the Samuel and Jane you mention but I am sure they will be in the tree.

Does anyone know anything about the Croggon company operating from Fairfield Road Bow. They were an ironwroks that dealt in iron church buildings. My great greta grandfather Charles Bsrnes a blacksmith worked there and later became a manager around 1905

I am interested in John CROGGON who is shown as grandson of Thomasin CROWLE in her Will of 11 November 1819; she was buried in St Gluvias 9 August 1820.
Thomasin was Thomasin JORDAN a widow when she married James CROWLE (a widower) in 1797. She was about 50 when she married James and as far as I know there were no children from this marriage.
The will also mentioned a son John JORDAN and a daughter Ann DUNSTAN of Thomasin who were the executors of the Will.
I have not been able to ascertain any information about Thomasin's first marriage or her maiden name. James CROWLE first marriage was to Jane HOCKING in Creed on 7 June 1756.

My name is Jeremy Croggon born in Grampound Cornwall. While I live in Georgia I have two brothers still living there. The Family operated a Tannery from 1712 until 2005. The site has now been developed for upscale housing . My brother John is the Family Historian .I believe the first Croggon to emigrate to America was Thomas Croggon he went Baltimore,shortly after Grampound was disenfranchised for being a "Rotten Borough", he was involved in selling votes and left in a hurry.
Let me know if any of this is of interest.

Hello Jeremy
my name is Liz Fisher and I am Chair of the Heritage Project Management Group in Grampound. I have just been talking with Bill and John about the restoration of the old Limes site at the very bottom of the Tannery. We are about to put in a Heritage Lottery Bid to try and restore and tidy up the site, to do an in depth exercise on the Croggon Archive (all the papers went to the Cornwall Record Office but I guess you know that) and an oral history if we can get people to talk about their time at the Tannery.
If you would like to know more about we are doing let me know.
Regards
Liz

In my tree I have John Rawson Croggon "of the tannery" who I think was b. circa 1905 and whose son m. a Harrison -- those two probably still alive so I'm not giving their names or dates here.
Should we be comparing notes?
