I was very excited to see Grove and Boucher in your Query. This is what I have - unfortunately, Wiltshire and Somerset is more our tree.
Eleanor Grove of Southampton (died 1778) m Joseph Crabb (b 1706) of Tellisford, Somerset. Their son James (b 1748) married Arabella Sarah Grove Boucher, dau of Richard Boucher of Corsham, Wilts, (b 1755) m 1777, and died 1791 in London "as a result of being struck on the head by a flowerpot which fell from a third storey window". Gentleman's Magazine
Her brother William Grove of Islington Essex, also died 1778. Other sisters Ann Grove and Elizabeth Grove.
Sarah Grove (possibly a cousin of Eleanor?) married Richard Boucher (b 1730), was Land Steward to Paul Methuen Esq of Corsham Court, co. Wilts. Their daughter is the Arabella Sarah Grove Boucher referred to above. Their son, Richard Boucher of Marlborough Mount Jamaica, left a fortune to James George Crabb, his nephew, provided he assumed the name of Boucher, and did so by Royal Licence 1837.
Enough for now, especially if none of this relates to your search? The Boucher side of the tree is more sparse, William Boucher d 1676 - m Margaret Kent, his son William Bouchier (d 1687) married Arabella Pett, their son William d 1770 married Dolly dau of Thos Frome of Salisbury, they had 5 daughters. His 2nd wife Agnes dau of ? Clerke produced a son William, JP for Wilts and Dorset b 1753, d 1835, was governor of Gen Hosp at Bath and Magdalen Hosp in London.
Bye for now - hope we're related!
