Thank you again Nigel and Lizzie. I am helping a colleague whose ancestors are George Crouch and Priscilla Can with her research. Family legend refers to Priscilla sometimes as Cam and sometimes as Wells.
Children of George Cruch/Crutch/Crouch and Priscilla (now known to be nee Cam) are
Elizabeth 1817-182?
Charles 1821-1837
Jane 1823-1827
John 1826
Alfred 1830
Thomas 1831
Francis 1832
George 1834
Caleb 1838
Eliza born 16/4/1840
In the 1841 census they were living in Roke, all born Oxfordshire.
They appear in Canada in the 1851 census.
There is anecdotal evidence that their first child Elizabeth was born and buried in Ludgershall, Wilts. I am now wondering whether this should be Ludgershall, Berks?
According to the census returns George was born in 1790 and Priscilla in 1797. The seven year age gap is consistent through all census returns.
At the marriage of George and Priscilla's son John, his place of birth is given as Little Milton.
George died in 1864 and Priscilla died in 1876.
Think that is all that is known. Anything that you can unearth would be much appreciated.
Not sure what WM might mean - Weslyan Methodist perhaps?
