| Hi Jane, I'd done a bit of research around this family. The parents of James Crisp Cuzner were John Cuzner and Grace Crisp. We can establish this through the baptism register of Frome St John (FSJ) for James Crisp to John and Grace Cuzner on 7 sep 1831. John and Grace 10 other children: Matilda Crisp (1819-), John (1820-1821), James (1822-1822), Elizabeth Crisp ( 1823- ), your James (1826-16 Oct 1898), Samuel Crisp (1828-06 Jan 1877), Emily Crisp (1831-), Jane Crisp (1832-), Caroline Crisp (1836-), Oliver Frederick (1838-18 Jan 1875). John's parents are a bit harder. We know that John was born in 1790, but there are two John Cuzners born very close together do different parents. The two boys were baptized at FSJ within 6 months of each other. The parents were John and Naomi Hooper Cuzner and John and Mary Greenland Cuzner. After careful research of these two families I'm fairly certain that John h/o Grace was the son of John and Naomi. This John is a Fuller who operates multiple mills around the area. Tax records put him in different places than the other John. John h/o Rebecca Gorrett is a weaver and wire spooler. His son Joseph is also a wire spooler and his brother Thomas is also a weaver. Also of note, John h/o Rebecca has a brother Thomas who's daughter-in-law moved to New York after her husband died and moved into an apartment next door to Joseph suggesting a close family connection. Here are my notes: There are two John Cuzner christened within 6 months of each other at FSJ. Here are so notes that lead me to conclude that this John, who married Grace Crisp, is the son of John and Naomi (Hooper) Cuzner.
