Completely bamboozled by all this contradictory information.
Who were William Joshua Chalcraft's parents? Francis 1868 and Fanny Hurren 1868? Married 1887.

Who was married in 1867?
Who is Katherine Elizabeth Butcher born 1878.

Help!

Hi, it's not contradictory - perhaps Trish has given you too much at once.

It helps if you write it down, then it becomes clearer.

FRANCIS CHALCRAFT married FRANCES (FANNY) ELIZABETH HURREN 20th Nov 1887 Farnham.

FRANCIS's father was WILLIAM CHALCRAFT
FANNY's father was JOSHUA HURREN

JOSHUA HURREN married CATHERINE BUTCHER 1867 Yarmouth.

CATHERINE ELIZABETH BUTCHER is Fanny's mother and was born 1848.

Hope that makes it clearer.

I think you're right, Trish is excellent but all the info at one threw me completely. Thanks for making it more understandable and thanks Trish.

William Joshua Chalcraft  (1891 - 1971) married Constance Mary Irwin.  His father Francis Chalcraft  (1868 - 1918) married Fanny Elizabeth Hurren.

That's my understanding so far.

Yes, I changed my post as I'd got muddled, sorry. That looks correct so far.

Thanks Trish, all I've got to do now is track down the garage he ran and find out a bit more about his military service.

Are you on Ancestry? There are several trees with this family and they include a photo of William Joshua in his uniform.
