Seeing help in finding the parents and birth location of my ggrandfather William Couche and wife Ellen Crone, who were married in St Finbar's (South) Cork City in 1837, Ireland.

Their son Richard Couche married Margaret Crone 1844-1906 Baldwin St Brigown, Mitchelstown Cork and had about 13 children he was a loan officer. Margarets parents Honora Roache abt 1813 -post 1871 Melbourne Australia and Thomas Crone 1811-1871 of same address. I am also interested in finding Honora Roaches parents both of this couple  both  noted on the Peerage pages as is Thomas father. Their children were Elizabeth 1834, Ann 1838, Richard 1841 m Kate Callaghan, Thomas abt 1842 and Margaret Crone 1844 and one I could not find

William Couche Jnr 1845-1913 their second son, married Mary Ann Mc Carthy 1845-1914 were my  great grand parents. He became Super Intendant of Police, dying in East Ballarat Victoria. I suspect Ellen Crone abt 1812 may have been related to Honora Roache Crone but cant yet prove this as yet as both sons children  have similar middle names.

I did find a William and Ellen Couche born about 1782 from Gosport Hampshire with son William born there in 1813, but I cant progress any further

I have hit a bit of a brick wall and would appreciate your assistance in finding my relatives. many thanks in advance, Jen Solity

Interesting that several of the Couche boys were in the photographic business as photographer, photographer's assistant and photographic artist.

Richard George Couche (photographer) - his marriage to Sarah Georgina Clarke on 8th January 1908 at Killaloe cathedral. He was working at Davis Street, Tipperary and his father described as an auctioneer.

In 1911 census at David Street (mistranscribed). Note the presence of Victor William Couche and Agness Maud Thomas.
