Cruddas in Bridlington/Sewerby - Bridlington
I am researching the line descending from William Cruddas (in particular my line which is from William's son, Matthew). William's father was called John and born in Durham, moving into Yorkshire when he joined the militia in 1795. Can't trace John after 1805 when William is christened in Sheffield. William was living in Bridlington by 1831. Does anyone have any information which could help - I suspect William may have ended up in Bridlington by moving with his father (who may have stayed in the army past 1803). NB there are often misspellings of this name(have 20 variations to date!) so it could be recorded with differing numbers of 'd' 's' or be, e.g. Croudace!!

Triplets / link to Cruddas family - Bridlington
On researching my Cruddas line, another family member has told us that there was a set of triplets. The photograph gives their names as Joseph, Martha and Mary. They would have been born c. 1870 - 1905. We do not know whether their surname is Cruddas, or whether they were born to someone born a Cruddas who had subsequently married and therefore changed their name. Has anyone come across any triplets? There is a possibility that they were born in East Yorks but outside of Bridlington.. Any help appreciated! Thanks, Michelle
