Craske Family Search
I've been having some fun over the last few days chasing the Craske family of Glemsford and Leigh (Lancashire) around the Censuses and elsewhere, partly because Alan Bell asked me if I knew anything, and partly because there is a slight link to the Brown family, of whom, as we all know, there were many in Glemsford - 144 in 1901.
At one stage of my search I remembered having contact, back in 2004,with Sandra Farrimond, who was researching a separate (but related) branch of the Craskes. The email address I have doesn't work any more, so, if Sandra wants to, a quick note to me could put her and Alan in touch with each other.
Meanwhile, just for general interest, these notes appear in Glemsford School logbooks:
26 July 1897
The attendance officer having obtained date of Julia Craske's birth, her name has been removed from the books, as she will not be three years old until December next. She had made 11 attendances, and these will be subtracted from the total for the quarter.
20 October 1897
Finding that a false date of birth was sent when Arthur Craske was admitted on the 16th of July last, his name has been removed from the register, as he will not be 3 years old until Dec. 3rd. His attendance will be deducted from the totals at the end of the quarter.
17 December 1897
Attendance a little improved this week, three or four children who have had Measles being allowed to return. Arthur Craske, aged 3 years was admitted yesterday afternoon.
21 February 1902
Kate and Muriel Craske left school to-day, on account of the removal of their parents to Lancashire.
Kate, Muriel and Julia were the daughters of Charles Craske and Kate (nee Bird), while Arthur was the son of Mark and Adelaide (nee Hartley). Charles and Mark were the sons of Thomas and Georgeanna (Georgina, Georgianna). George Craske (an older brother of Mark and Charles) was married to Joanna Maria (nee Brown) and was already living in Leigh, Lancashire by 1901.
So, another Lancashire: Glemsford connection, to go with the travels of another branch of the Brown family, researched last year, and written up on these pages.
If anyone has further details, or questions ...

My name is Victor Craske and my family come from Leigh, prior to that from Glemsford. Would be interested in any information anyone could provide as I am just starting on my search.
has alan done some research into the craskes of glemsford as his information would be invaluable to me. my email is quantum539@hotmail.com. name is victor craske.
Georgiana's maiden name was Aust, my maternal grandmother's family. As far as I am aware, the Aust family were in & around the Glemsford area from the early 17th century & have married into the Gridley, Game, Hartley & Boreham families as well as the Craskes.
Any information on the family would be gratefully received, especially the location of any local records or gravestones linked to them?
