I have received a bumper selection of marriage certificates from fellow Guild member Des Gander following his hard work on the recent Exeter Marriage Challenge. Des searched through all the parish registers at the Devon Record Office in the Exeter Registration District from 1837 to 1911 and was able to extract the full certificate details for the following marriages:
- 1839 Robert Cruse (son of Samuel Cruse) and Sarah Cockwill
- 1842 James Cruse (father's details blank) and Elizabeth Cruse (daughter of Edward Cruse)
- 1849 Anna Maria Cruse (daughter of Robert Cruse) and Thomas Hicks
- 1850 Robert Cruse (son of Robert Cruse) and Martha Conway
- 1855 John Pester Cruse (son of John Cruse) and Fanny Sheppard
- 1869 Daniel Richard Cruse (son of John Cruse) Mary Jane Scanes
- 1872 Catharine Fanny Cruse (daughter of Samuel Cruse) and George Tayler
- 1875 Albert Cruse (son of William Cruse) and Eva Bartlett
- 1875 Joseph Cruse (son of John Cruse) and Grace Snell Mellow
If you are researching any of these families please get in touch.
I am related to Samuel Burrington Sheppard, can you say if he is related to Fanny who married John Pester Cruse? S.Foard
ReplyDeleteFanny Sheppard was born about 1836 in Kenton and was the daughter of William Sheppard, a gardener. I haven't investigated the Sheppards and have no information about her siblings. You might find more information on Sue Froud's website:
