Me and a cousin are at a Brick
Wall on this person. He from England but I not sure if can find anything to help with family.

Edward Critchfield

Billie

A date of birth and a rough idea where he came from would help. I will take a look if you give me a bit more information. Sue.

Ok, just read the profile.
Surnames can often be spelled slightly differently, usually according to the priet’s interpretation of the spelling and pronouncistion, when recording births, marriages and burials.
This is what I found:

“Edward Crutchfeild
Gender: Male
Baptism Date: 20 Mar 1659
Baptism Place: Saint Giles,Reading,Berkshire,England
Father: Edward Crutchfeild.”

This is him as a father, I am supposing, so you need to broaden our search to this spelling of the surname.

Sue

priest’s. Sorry.

Thanks Susan,
We been looking for some information to help out on him.

Billie

I found this. Probably him.
Edward Crutchfield was christened in St. Giles Church, Reading, Berkshire, on 8 April 1632, son of Willeam (i.e. William).
That would make him 27 when he married Martha Bennett.
I take he went to The New World? So he was probably a Puritan.

His father may well be this chap: William Crutchfield married Elizabeth Barnes in April 1626 at St. Mary’s Church, Reading. Edward’s parents, I would imagine.
Crutchfield, and its’ variations, seem to be quite a common surname in Berkshire.
Sue

I will check with my cousin Susan thanks for all your help.

Billie

I’ve found the same I think. Baptism 8 April 1632 St Giles, Reading, Berks. Marriage to Marth Bennett at St Giles 13 June 1659. His father’s name given as William Crutchfield.
Susie
