New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Family of Samuel Cranch And Elizabeth nee Webb

Hello Bellbird,
I'm glad to see that you seem to be making the contacts that you'd hoped for.
Maybe you could let me know the details of Samuel's offspring by email, if that's not too much trouble.
I would also love to see the start of that Tree back to 1730. As I've mentioned previously, the earliest confirmed ancestor that I have is Joseph CRANCH who married Rebecca ELWORTHY in Sept 1768 - so his birth can be presumed to be somewhere between 1728 and 1758 ( but I don't have anything to confirm that).
I'll attach a file to illustrate the branch of the family that includes Samuel Gill and Frederick George CRANCH (with notations).
I think that everyone that needed that file has now seen it.
Please PM me for current file if the family is of interest to you.

Oops! posted too soon! Start again.....
Hello Adele,
No, technically only two extended families.
1. The family of Samuel CRANCH/Elizabeth WEBB - Carterton> Te Aroha> Cambridge etc
And Samuel's nephews, Frederick George CRANCH and Samuel Gill CRANCH, who left Devon and settled in Auckland.
2. The family of William CRANCH/Mary GOLDSWORTHY - a Master mariner who based himself in the Thames/Auckland area. He was in Thames/Auckland as early as the 1850's.
They are of two different CRANCH lines within a very small area within south Devon.
Consequently, it is not surprising that current Carterton residents aren't familiar with the CRANCH surname.

Hello Bellbird,
You probably don't need to worry too much about Annie Muriel CRANCH around Carterton. The birth reference is for Auckland.
We have just about got what we need to say that she wasn't a direct member of the Samuel CRANCH family.
We do, however, need to wait for any info that Lei-anne has on the supposed illegitimate children before we close the door completely on Annie Muriel.

Lu,
What year was that birth reg for Annie Muriel, please?
With an Auckland ref we can just about rule her out of Samuel's family.
Zelda Floris is now the 'spanner in the works' because with a Cambridge birth reg she is more likely to have some connection with the family.
Thanks for your sterling work in tracking down these NZ BMD refs - it really helps straighten things out.

Magic Lu, Thanks for the edit!
I do hope that Bellbird is happy with this progress - she's gone quiet. Digesting the info, maybe
Re Zelda Floris:
We'll get to the bottom of that one in no time. Thanks for the refs
