Sussex / Crouch Family of Hastings.
« on: Monday 07 February 11 06:00 GMT (UK) »
At the SOG , in a Crouch file, a hand drawn Pedigree had a John Crouch Abt 1662 ( Herts) Marrying a Sarah Geary ( IGI 1695 All Saints, Hastings). The Ancestors of this John Crouch were correct back to Abt 1480, and the descendents of, together with half a dozen pages of additional notes, also seem to be correct from info I have found on the web, including that from the 1066 website.
However, several trees on Rootsweb World Connect project has the spouse of Sarah Geary as John, but born later and descended from a Sussex line. The source for all these Trees seems to be the LDS.
I am more inclined to follow the SOG Pedigree.
Firstly the Sussex Crouch families I have seen are Farmers, Ag Labs, carpenters, Butchers and Shoemakers.
The Hastings Crouch line were ' Gentlemen', Jurats, Surgeon, Mayor and connected to Edward Milward, one spouse related to Charles Steevens 3 times mayor of Hastings. In those days there were defining lines between the classes and ' position and money seemed to be it. The positions of the Crouch family certainly match those of the Crouch line of Layston, Hertfordahire, the Layston Church website has much of our combined research into the Crouch family online.
I read through a batch of Crouch Wills at TNA's last saturday and have posted the results /notes on Rootsweb ' Crouch' Message Boards.
I am looking for clarificatation /info on John Married to sarah Geary.
