Thank you Kesannah,

What you found is very interesting and useful.

The Robert Crouch who was living there in 1929 was my grandfather as his father and grandfather (both also called Robert) died in 1928 & 1904 respectively. My grandfather went to live with Rose & William as he became an orphan (his mother died in 1922).

So that makes sense but why would a 10 year old be on the electoral roll?

I also wonder if my grandad was living there in during the 1930s as well despite not being included on the roll.

The search for Herbert goes on but he can't hide forever, I guess!

You would have to have been 21 to appear on an electoral roll,so I would sugegst that the Robert Crouch that Kesannah found yesterday is not your grandad,but someone of that name you have not accounted for yet.
Maybe a great uncle perhaps?

I have researched the Crouch side of my family and as I said above, my grandfather was called Robert (as were his father and grandfather), there is no sign of any other Robert Crouch's in the family as the line goes like this:

Robert Crouch married Sarah Shersby in 1813, they had 2 children, Henry William & Herbert (Herbert died in childhood).

Henry William married Elizabeth Bromley in 1840, they had 1 son (Robert Henry).

Robert Henry married Jane Mary Ann Damiral in 1863, they had 7 children, Henry Robert David (died n 1900, had 2 children, Alfred Robert & Lily Harriet), Rose Elizabeth Ellen, Robert Peter, Jane Mary Ann, Alfred Matthew (Alfred died in childhood), Herbert Douglas & Eleanor Olive.

There doesn't appear to be any trace of Alfred Robert Crouch from 1901 onwards but as I know that my grandfather lived with Rose & William, I think it is more likely that the Robert with them in 1929 was my grandfather mistakenly added and not Alfred having dropped his first name.

I thought I'd found Alfred Robert's death but have miscalculated his age as there is a registration in Eastbourne in 1923 but the age is 45 which is 10 years older than Alfred would have been.
