Hi Bob,

Regards

Sarah

Despite all that information i still cant find them in the census,maybe its because ive taken a 14 day trial with ancestry,i can find their birth records except john born 1813 but the info is limited,i need an upgade lol.

I don't think that the fact that you only have a free trial makes any difference to finding them, I can't see them either and it seems that so far nor can anyone else. 

You won't find birth registrations prior to 1837 and until we know where John Crouch was born having father as John is not that much help either.  I do wonder if the family were some sort of 'Traveller' as they often fail to appear on census.
