I have just spoken to my dad and he only knows limited information about his dad’s side of the family. But my brother is Richard Cruse and he was born in peacehaven in 1965.

A Walter Cruse died in the June quarter of 1931 in the Brighton Registration District at the age of 61. Working backwards a Walter Cruse married in the June quarter of 1904 in the Brighton District. There are two possible brides: Laura Holford and Kate Louisa Wood. I'm hoping that Colin Ulph will be able to find this marriage in the Brighton Marriage Challenge. I can't find Walter in the 1901 census at present (he possibly served in the Boer War) but in 1891 there is a Walter Cruse, age 21, living with his parents Richard and Mary Jane Cruse. To clinch matters Walter is working as a grocer's assistant. I now need to do some work on the family of Richard Cruse, but I can already see from the censuses that Richard was born in Chailey, Sussex, and he will inevitably belong somewhere in my Chailey tree.Debbie Kennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573470282571579765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238849140976286627.post-8213908518735205092008-12-08T22:39:00.000+00:002008-12-08T22:39:00.000+00:00A couple more pointers: On www.historicaldirectori...A couple more pointers: <BR/><BR/>On <A HREF="http://www.historicaldirectories.org/" REL="nofollow">www.historicaldirectories.org</A>, Kelly's Directory of Sussex, 1911 and Kelly's Directory of Sussex, 1905, both have Walter Cruse, grocer, at 14 Upper St James Street, Brighton.<BR/><BR/>Ronald Thomas Cruse attended Varndean School: see <A HREF="http://www.oldvarndeanians.org.uk/vboys/yearlists/y1920.html" REL="nofollow">http://www.oldvarndeanians.org.uk/vboys/yearlists/y1920.html</A>.Andrew Millardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035606100093142182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238849140976286627.post-25709641488368422052008-12-08T20:48:00.000+00:002008-12-08T20:48:00.000+00:00FreeBMD has John Thomas Foster possibly marrying E...FreeBMD has John Thomas Foster possibly marrying Elizabeth Cruse in 1900 Epsom RD.
