From your post, I assume you are descended from Eliza Ellen Crowley, who was born on 21 July 1833 and baptised 31 Aug 1833.
Eliza Crowley married
William Budge in the chapel of East Stonehouse on 3 May 1852. She was described as being aged 21, living at 18 George Street, daughter of “Brian Crowley, mariner”. I have the census records you mention, and can send them as images (see end).
Soon after the marriage they moved to Torpoint, across the Sound in Cornwall, where her husband came from. Their children: William (1853), Frederick (1863), Clara (1866), Florence (1868), Arthur (1905).
I have full details of their children's births, from the microfilmed parish registers, and have traced descendents (surnamed Budge), in some cases down to the 1970s.
I am descended from Eliza Crowley's brother, Edward William Crowley, born 1837. Soon after attending Eliza's wedding, Ned embarked on the merchant vessel
Panama. He had been attending Greenwich Naval College, and this was his first ship. Reaching Melbourne at the height of the Gold Rush, the whole crew deserted, including Ned, and he never returned to England.
I have written a full biography of Eliza's father, Bryan, who served in the RN. I was lucky enough many years ago to get a transcript of all of Bryan's ships — the record is lodged in the Greenwich application papers for his son Ned. I know all his ships, all his captains, all his ports of call.
To go back another generation, Bryan Crowley was son of William Crowley, a baker. The family was living in Paul Street, Cork City c. 1780. Bryan was pressganged into the RN, but stayed in the service, married Mary Sullivan, and made Devonport home. Mary died in the cholera outbreak of 1849, along with her daughter Margaret (Bunster). Bryan remarried later in life, Phillis Moon. All this is in the biography. These materials are pdf files, which I can send you. Email me at (*)
Regards, Dave Crowley
