Title: Croucher FAmily from Empshott/Alton/Binstead/Greatham Area
Post by: Pauline42 on Wednesday 17 May 06 11:58 BST (UK)

I have been trying to find the ancestors of Henry Croucher b about 1813 in Hampshire. (he is my ggggrandfather)

I have found him on the 1851 census on wards and his birth place is listed as 1851 - Grinham, Hants,  1861 - Surrey?  1871 - Hemshott (sic) Hants,  1881 - Greathan, Hants, 1891 - Greathan Hants.
He died in Kingston Upon Thames in 1893 age 79.

I have tried to find him on the 1841 census in Hampshire with no success. I can't (yet) find any sign of the Croucher family in Greatham Hants on the 1841 census.  I have no idea who his parents are. Has anyone any ideas???

Where can I look now?  As i live in Chester, it is unlikely that I will get to look at the parish registers in Hampshire in the near future.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Pauline

Sorry just realised Henry listed was born 10 years out of date.
There is no other Henry listed in the book for that time.
Have you checked familysearch.com website? It may help.

There is a CROUCHER Geneaslogy website:

http://www.croucherconsult.co.uk/genealogy/Croucher.htm


It mentions several Henry CROUCHERS but none born 1813.  Lots of info, so worth a look.
