Yes, Glenys, thanks for this info - I believe that this man could well be the brother of my g-g-grandfather, John Crone. John Crone (born about 1827 in ?Sheerness/?Cork) was also a coastguard, serving at coastguard stations in Kent and probably the south coasts of England and Ireland. In fact, I also believe that the ?brothers' father was James Crone, another coastguard officer serving at St Germans, East Cornwall, certainly at the time of the 1841 census. And yes, to continue the coastguard family theme, one of John Crone's sons, Bartholomew (my great-grandfather) was a coastguard too! His daughter, my grandmother, was born at Kilmichael coastguard station in Co Wexford. My mum has done quite a lot of research in the past (pre-Internet) about her forebears, and I am trying to continue piecing together this family. We have strong Kent and Irish connections. Any further help with the Crones would be much appreciated.

Thanks Glenys for this info! I have quite a bit of work to do to try to establish, what I believe to be, at least 3 generations of coastguards in my family, in service during the 19th century all along the south coasts of England and Ireland. My parents have already researched the Crone family (particularly my great-grandfather Bartholomew Crone) in difficult circumstances (ie pre-the Internet!) and have quite a lot of coastguard history/pictures/photos which might be of interest? Unfortunately, I have only got a hard copy of their info, so I will need to scan it in.

I'm myself particularly interested in the Crones in Kent (coastguards/sailors/fishing connections) - I have found quite a few Crones in 19th century censuses - Erith and Folkestone, as well as the Sheerness connections which I know my family are connected to - as well as 'Cornish' Crones, also coastguards whom I feel certain are also related - but I will have to do quite a bit more delving! This is all quite difficult because obviously these families moved about so much!

Hopefully, I can contribute to this discussion board as much as possible.....

Many thanks again for the info!

Glad to add anything that may help.

I'm really interested in photo's or history of Coastguards, especially any that served on the Isle of Sheppey. I have just set up a section for Coastguards serving on the Island but not on any Censuses and am happy to put any family history on that if you wish. Contact me off list if you would be interested, my email address is on my profile, together with my web ULR.
