RESEARCH NOTES
- from another researcher: “Charlotte's parents are definitely William and Mary Crouch [as opposed to William’s first wife Mercy]. They crop up on other entries, ie. as grandparents of John (1832) birth record. I have an old style record of International Genealogical Index entry showing
Charlotte Crouch
Birth 27 Jan 1805
Christening 31 March 1805 Ebenezer etc, Sutton Valence. Her parents shown as William Crouch and Mary.
I have another handwritten entry for her baptism in the baptists records ' Charlotte the daughter of William and Mary Crouch farmer in the parish of Chart Sutton (Kent), was born January 27 1805 and baptised March 31 1805 by me Samuel Beaufoy.'”
