Karen, Thanks for these links. I was already familiar with the Irish links about Cruisetown and the Rathmore Cruises. I was not aware of the American Cruce publication which looks very useful. I've only glanced through it but it's very helpful to have transcriptions of the original PRs from Belfast.

Pontius de Cruce is unlikely to be related to the Irish Cruises. The surname simply means "cross".

Gros and Bruce

Thanks Karen. I've now updated the page to include those two additional deviants.

Is there a chance my family name may be a variant? I have located in eastern France the spelling of my name used as a street name. so far that is all the connection I have found with the spelling.

I've not come across the surname Cruey before in my research. It may well be that people with the surnames Cruse, Cruwys, etc. are mistranscribed as Cruey in a census or in other records but I don't think the surnames are related.
