SEARCHING FOR LIVING RELATIVES


A link has been provided to a site where general information on searching for living people is available.
Much information about living members of this family is freely available to the general public in ALREADY-PUBLISHED material found in libraries in many formats.
It is regarded as ethical to REPUBLISH in any format information already published about living people (see link).
As a matter of etiquette, however, the author has often refrained from publishing such permissibly ethical information. Instead, clues have been given (with much repetition) as to how the readers can access the information for themselves.

Extensive notes presenting information on how and where to search for living and other relatives of a family may be found on the Aspinall website, pages ii to iv-see link above to the site. The Aspinall website also lists sources for information already available to the public in a wide variety of publications and formats. This information has not been repeated on this website, which is essentially an extension of the Aspinall website.
On a computer much public information about this family may be obtained from the internet [I].
Much more information about this family, including members of the family who are still alive, is freely available to the general public in publications found in larger libraries such as State libraries and family history libraries.

SOME FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH SOURCES AND THEIR ABBREVIATIONS
Abbreviations relating to births, deaths and marriages include NI (New South Wales BDM Index found on the Internet, with NB, ND and NM as sub-set abbreviations); relevant certificates: BC, DC or MC; RI (Ryerson Index); SMH (Sydney Morning Herald) and SMHDI-I (Sydney Morning Herald available on the internet on the Trove site of the National Library of Australia).
The certificates of all births, deaths and marriages listed on the internet may be purchased by the general public.
Also of assistance in tracing this family are the International Genealogical Index [IGI] found in FamilySearch [FS]; post office directories [P]; probate indexes [PB]; the Indexes for Rookwood Cemetery [I] and for other cemeteries; electoral rolls [E] including those found on Ancestry [A] (partial record free on the internet) and in book format or on microfiche in larger libraries, the AGCI Index[AI] and elsewhere, and newspapers, especially the death and funeral notices.
Some information on Ancestry.com is free on the internet. Most Ancestry records on the internet are available for a fee. However many larger libraries provide free access to the Ancestry site.

NOTE: Several different versions of the Croucher family history in printed (or computer file) format, are already available for family members. These printed versions of the family history provide much greater detail about the family.

A * before a person’s name indicates that more information about that person may be found in a later part of the text.

FOREWARD

The Croucher family was the first of my family lines that I followed personally. One evening in the late 1980s I received a long-distance phone call from a relative living in country New South Wales. His son was required to produce a brief family history as a school project. The next day was spent at the State Library gleaning information for the project, which I enjoyed immensely. I shall always be very grateful to that relative for that phone call.
Family history research was all so very unfamiliar to me, but also very exciting. I had a background which involved research as well as teaching at both secondary and tertiary levels. I had written two research theses at university, which meant that I had training in research methods and in the compiling and writing of literature surveys. My undergraduate degree included a unit of Australian History and so I also had had some experience with delving into records of an historical nature. I had never lost my love of learning and of research. For me family history was to become simply an extension of my previous training into a new branch of learning.
My children were now adults. Soon afterwards my casual work ceased. This left me with ample time to continue my newly-found interest in Family History. Several years after my first encounter with family history I joined the Genealogical Society of Victoria (GSV) and the Society of Australian Genealogists (SAG) located in Sydney. Trips to Sydney to visit my elderly mother also provided me with the opportunity to glean information about my families; information which was not available to me interstate. Fortunately, my mother was also very interested in the family history. She encouraged me and provided me with information, not always accurate and sometimes confused. But the information given to me by my mother was a very useful base from which to develop family histories.
Another Croucher relative, unknown to me at the time, had also been working on the Croucher family tree. In 1992 he organised a Croucher family reunion. Family commitments meant that I was unable to attend the reunion. My mother, though an in-law, was able to attend and was made very welcome, especially with her wealth of information on some sections of the family. For this reunion a small booklet on the family was produced. This booklet provided me with even more related families to investigate.
Unfortunately, my health had begun to deteriorate. I found my new interest very useful as I could work at my own pace. Eventually, after many years, a cause was found for my problems. My improved medical state meant that I was able to accelerate the rate at which I was working. Also, I was now well enough to learn word-processing. This new skill allowed me to put my family histories onto the computer myself. Earlier I had found a very distant, indirect cousin with a mutual interest in family history. He had started to put some of my family histories onto his computer for me: thank-you R G!.
In the meantime, many early historical records were being released to the public, both in Australia and in England. It is only since the mid 2000s that many new details of the family in both countries have been freely and easily available.
As with any family history there are still many gaps. These gaps could be filled in various ways including the purchase of more BDM certificates and other available documents; a wider search of the electoral rolls and by contact with various members of the family. It is hoped that this internet version of this family history will allow additional information to be added as it becomes available.

THE MEANING OF THE NAME CROUCHER

CROUCHER is a location name originally given to a person living near a village or town cross. The cross may have been a market cross or a roadside cross. Later the name was also applied to people living adjacent to other forms of a cross, such as the person living at a place where two roads crossed one another. In some circumstances this person was also the toll collector if one road were a toll road. TOLLER is an alternative name derived from the toll collecting.
Alternative forms of the name are CROUCH, CROUCHMAN, CRUTCH, CRUTCHER and CROSS. In early records ‘ow’ may replace the ‘ou’ in the name.

Some people have confused the location name, CROUCHER with the occupational name, CROZIER, which is used for someone employed to carry a cross. Most often this was the person who carried the Bishop’s cross in the church or elsewhere. But it could also be applied to others who carried a cross, such as in battle or a minder of animals. The name also applied to a cleric or shepherd who carried a shepherd’s crook. The name CROZIER was also applied to people who sold crosses and very occasionally to someone living near a cross.

Books on the derivation of surnames vary slightly in their etymology of the names, including the information provided on the names just mentioned above. The details given above are a general consensus from a number of different texts on the subject of the derivation and meaning of surnames.

DIVISION ONE: THE CROUCHER FAMILY IN ENGLAND

CHAPTER ONE: THE EARLY ENGLISH RELATIVES

INTRODUCTION: THE CROUCHER FAMILY IN SURREY

THE CROUCHER FAMILY IN TOOTING
G1 GEORGE CROUCHER

Little is known of GEORGE CROUCHER apart from the given name of his wife, ANN and that they lived in the Tooting area of London. It is thought that George was BORN in the early 1750s. The church records of St Nicholas Church, Tooting Graveney include the burial of a George CROUCHER on 4 APRIL 1802. He was 50 years old.
The church records show that George and Ann had at least four CHILDREN: William [S-s II, p2], Hannah (baptised 17 FEB 1782), Mary Ann (born 27 FEB 1789 and baptised 24 MAY 1789) and George (born 9 OCT 1791 and baptised 6 November 1791). Since William was born in Lower Tooting and married a lass born in Tooting it is likely that the family lived and worked in this area of Surrey for at least some of the time. The gap in the ages of the children suggests that they may have left the district for several years.

TOOTING GRAVENEY, or Lower Tooting, is an old, pre-Saxon area of Surrey, with the area code SW17. Tooting lies 8km SSW of Charing Cross. It is known that the Vikings occupied some of the region during their occupation of England. The name “Tooting Graveney” means “dwelling of the sons of Totas”. In much earlier times the name was “Toting” and then, later, “Totinge”. Lying to the north-east of Tooting Graveney and adjacent to it is Tooting Bec or Upper Tooting. The Roman road from London to Chichester, known as Stane Street, ran through the district. In fact, Tooting High Street was built along this Roman road. Upper and Lower Tooting are now amalgamated into the one suburb of Tooting. The River Graveney runs through the area.
Initially the district was mainly a farming area, especially for orchards of fruit trees. In the 1880s and 1890s much of the farmland of Tooting was converted into housing estates to create a suburban area for the workers of London and Mitcham. Tooting was almost destroyed during the bombing of London in World War Two. It is unlikely that the houses occupied by our family are still in existence.
The London suburb to the west of Tooting is Wimbledon, known for the famous yearly tennis tournament. William, and later his sons, quite possibly roamed the wooded areas of Wimbledon and its Common as well as those of Tooting Bec Common.

**PAGE 2**

THE CROUCHER FAMILY IN MITCHAM

G2 WILLIAM CROUCHER, [p1]
William, carpenter, was BORN in 1780 and BAPTISED 13 Aug 1780 in St Nicholas Church, TOOTING GRAVENEY, SRY, England. He DIED 16 Nov 1860 at 74 High St, Hampstead, MDX, England at the home of his daughter, Elizabeth. About 1812 William was MARRIED to ELIZABETH.
Elizabeth [c1780-17 Jan 1844] died from dropsy in her home at Merton Street, Tooting aged 63 years.

Since all of his children were baptised in the local parish church at MITCHAM, SRY, the Church of St Peter and St Paul, and two children were also buried in the churchyard cemetery, it seems possible that William worked in the Mitcham district. However, Mitcham is only four kilometres south of Tooting. It would also have been possible for the family to travel from Tooting to Mitcham for the Christenings and burials, or even for William to travel to work there.

MITCHAM, 12km SSW of Charing Cross, is north and east of the River Wandle. It was the site of a Celtic settlement in pre-Roman times. Subsequently Mitcham was settled by the Romans and then the Anglo-Saxons. The most likely origin of the name Mitcham is the Anglo-Saxon word meaning big settlement.
The Domesday Book describes the district as a small farming community of 250 people separated into two hamlets. Queen Elizabeth I liked the region sufficiently to visit it five times. Mitcham was one of the main lavender farming districts in England and also grew peppermint. The perfume of the fields was a refreshing change from the fetid odour of larger towns.

As industrial development increased in England during the 1700s many industries sprang up along the banks of the river, or nearby to it. These changed Mitcham from a farming village into a thriving industrial town. Plenty of work would have been available for a carpenter like William.

Because of the industrial importance of Mitcham the town became the target of German bombing raids during WWII. The area suffered considerable damage as a result.

The Parish of St Peter and St Paul, where William’s children were baptised and buried, goes back to Saxon times, but only the Saxon tower of the church now remains. The church was largely rebuilt during 1819 to 1821, the period when our family was associated with the area. Since William was a carpenter by trade he may even have been involved in this reconstruction or in the industrial development of Mitcham.

The 1841 CENSUS shows that William’s wife, Elizabeth, and their daughter, Elizabeth, lived in Tooting Mews, Merton Road, TOOTING. William must have been working away from home on the census night. His census record has not survived.
Our family left the Tooting district in the mid-1840s after the death of William’s wife, Elizabeth.

Most likely they moved nearer to central London. His daughter, Elizabeth, and his son, John, married a brother and sister born in Harrow, the children of William Hudson, farrier or carrier.

HARROW, a market town within the wider district of Hendon, lies ten miles (16km) north-western of central London. The town had a population of about 4,000 people in the mid 1840s. The region, called Herges” in the Domesday Book, later became known as “Hareways”. It is thought that Harrow was once a Roman military site. The old church built in the 14th century incorporates parts of an older Norman church. The town is best known for its Grammar school where many famous people have been educated.

George, William’s son, whose family also lived in Tooting in 1841, moved a few kilometres north from Tooting to the inner London district of Lambeth.

The 1851 CENSUS shows the widowed William living with his son, John [S-s V, p11].
Later William went to live with his daughter, Elizabeth [S-s IV, p7].

Five CHILDREN are known from the marriage of William and Elizabeth: *George Charles [S-s I, p3], *William [S-s II, p6], *Charles [S-s III, p6], *Elizabeth Ann [S-s IV, p7] and *John [S-s V, p11]. This list suggests that Elizabeth’s father may have been named Charles.

THE CHILDREN OF WILLIAM AND ELIZABETH CROUCHER

SECTION ONE: G3 GEORGE CHARLES CROUCHER, snr, [p2]

George, carpenter, grocer, [11 Oct 1813, Mitcham, Surrey-?] was BAPTISED 20 Mar 1814 in St Mary the Virgin Church, Aldermanbury, City of London. It was unusual in this era for such a long period to intervene between a birth and a baptism. One possibility is that William’s work commitments and a necessary change of address meant the postponement of the baptism.
George’s death has not been found in spite of diligent searching. He was still alive in 1881 according to the census in April that year.
George MARRIED on 23 Apr 1837 at St Bride Church, Fleet St, City of London SARAH ROLLISSON, dressmaker.
Sarah [1817, Tooting-13 Oct 1878] died from chronic bronchitis in the Workhouse Infirmary, Pleasant Place, Lambeth. Sarah, the daughter of Robert and Mary, and was BAPTISED on 12 October 1817 at Tooting Graveney.

(Sarah ROLLISSON had two sisters. MARTHA ROLLISSON was BORN 27 Nov 1810 and BAPTISED 20 Jan 1811. MARY ROLLISSON was BAPTISED 26 Jun 1814. Like Sarah, Martha and Mary were baptised in St Nicholas Church, Tooting Graveney.)


The 1841 CENSUS records show Sarah living with are her two sons, George and William, in Church Street, TOOTING GRAVENEY. Sarah was living quite close to her mother-in-law. Her husband, George, and his unmarried brother, John, are living in a boarding house in LAMBETH. Presumably they had found work in this suburb of London.

The family was living in NEWINGTON, Trinity, when the 1851 CENSUS was conducted. Newington is in the general Lambeth area of London south of the Thames. The census record is now very faint and poor. The house number is 81 but the name of the street is far from readable. Searching other pages of the census shows that the address was 81 St Andrews Road Newington. George’s occupation appears to be Grocer. Only two children, George and John, are shown on the census. The absence of other children on the census confirms that no other children, if born between 1838 and 1848, had survived. No birth or death registrations of likely children have been found either.
The suburb of NEWINGTON is now known as Elephant and Castle, named after a local pub. Newington was badly bombed in WWII. A massive redevelopment of the suburb started in 1960.

The 1861 CENSUS shows George and Sarah and their two younger sons living at 11 Buck St, LAMBETH, St Michael, near Kennington. John and Alfred were both scholars. A lodger and his wife lived with them.
By 1871, according to the CENSUS of that year, George and Sarah were living alone at 5 Ruttard (or Ruttand) Villa, ST BARNABUS, London. George, now 57 years old, was unemployed. Many other people lived at the same address grouped as different households. This information suggests that George and Sarah probably occupied one room in a lodging house.
None of these addresses found in the census records could be found in a 1970s London Street Directory. This suggests that the area has been cleared and rebuilt, either as a result of slum clearance or of bombing raids during the world wars; or perhaps from a combination of both.
In the 1881 CENSUS George is shown as a patient in the Workhouse Infirmary, LAMBETH, Surrey. George has not been found on the 1891 census. No death has been found for him in the lists of civil registrations. Perhaps George became a vagrant after he left the workhouse and so his death is registered as Unknown male or similar.

Only four CHILDREN of George and Sarah are known, *George Charles [Pt 1, p4], William John (1841-1842), *John James [CHAPTER ONE, p16] and *Alfred Robert [CHAPTER TWO, p35]. William John was born near the beginning of 1841 and died towards the end of 1842.

SUB-SECTION I: G4 GEORGE CHARLES CROUCHER jnr, [p3]
George, curtain seamer, prison guard, hall porter-theatre, was BAPTISED on the 22 Jul 1838 at Tooting Graveney, SRY, probably in St Nicholas Church. Note [a] the IGI registers the name as Crawcher and [b] the 1881 census gives his birthplace as Sutton, SRY. Sutton lies about six kilometres south of Mitcham. George died towards the end of 1907, in Kent.
George MARRIED in 1868 ELIZABETH NUNN. Elizabeth [1843 in Mellis, Suffolk-10 May 1921] died at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, Rochester, Kent. Elizabeth left her estate to her eldest son, George William CROUCHER.

George has not been found on the existing 1861 or 1891 census records. Many census records have not survived.
According to the 1871 CENSUS George and Elizabeth were living at 5 Smith St, VAUXHALL in the Lambeth area. Residing with them were George’s unmarried brother, Alfred, and two children, Ellen and George W. Ellen was Elizabeth’s ex-nuptial daughter BORN in 1861 in Mellis SFK.
LAMBETH is now the name of a large London Borough, rather than the name of an individual suburb. Most of the borough has been cleared and reconstructed following the intensive bombing of the district in World War Two.

By 1881, according to the CENSUS of that year, the family were living at Sea Spray, 12c St Mary’s Vale, GILLINGHAM, Kent. Ellen was no longer living with the family. No death or marriage of Ellen has been confirmed although there are several possible deaths or marriages. Nor has it been possible to show that she is the mother of Lilian, the granddaughter found on the 1901 census. There are also other possibilities as to who is the mother of Lilian.
GILLINGHAM (pronounced with a soft G to give the sound Jill) is just north of Chatham. It was mostly associated with the Chatham Docks along the River Medway, a tributary of the River Thames. The Medway district and its associated towns have long history. This is most easily read from interesting articles found on the internet.

The 1901 CENSUS shows George and Elizabeth living at 54 Cecil St, ROCHESTER, Kent, with their sons Charles, labourer, Edward, cleaner and Alfred. Rochester is the largest town in the Medway district. It lies on the east bank of the Medway River just west of Chatham. Also staying with George and Elizabeth is a granddaughter, Lilian Phillips, 13 years, born in Chatham.

**PAGE 5**

No appropriate marriage of a daughter of George to Mr Phillips has been found. An Annie Ada Croucher MARRIED in Kent in 1889 Richard Henry J PHILLIPS. No birth of an Annie Ada Croucher or Ada Annie Croucher has been found; nor was a likely person found in the 1881 census record. None of the births in Kent 1886-1892 is for a Lilian Phillips born in Chatham, which is in the registration district of Medway. The most likely birth is of Lilian Louisa Phillips, born in 1887, but not registered in the Medway region. There are a number of other possible births of a Lilian Phillips in Kent during the specified period.

The address of Elizabeth given on her will is 22 Mills Terrace, CHATHAM

At least seven CHILDREN of George and Elizabeth are known for certain: *George William, *Emily Elizabeth, Charles Robert born 1875, *Lilian [p6], (all born in the Lambeth region of Surrey), *Ernest [p6], Edward born 1882 and Alfred born about 1885. Ernest was born at Brompton, Kent, while Edward and Alfred were born in Gillingham, Kent. George and Emily were both baptised on 1 Feb 1874 at Kennington, SRY.

A list of Croucher marriages in the Medway registration district, (which includes Gillingham, Chatham and Rochester), shows an Alfred CROUCHER married in 1908 to either Lilian Maud BRUCE or to Ivy Mildred SHAW.
More information is required before it can be ascertained beyond doubt whether any of these marriages includes a member of our CROUCHER family.

PART 1: G5 GEORGE WILLIAM CROUCHER
George [1869-10 Sep 1924] died at the Royal Naval Hospital. At the time he was living at 46 Seaview Road, GILLINGHAM. A George William Croucher married in 1891 either Katherine Ann HORNE or Annie TUFFNELL.
George and his family have not been found on either the 1891 census or the 1901 census, suggesting that their census records are among the many census records that have been destroyed in some way.
If George did marry in 1891 and they had sons these sons may have fought in World War One. No research has been done concerning this.
George left his estate to Sophia Francis, wife of Joseph Blaxland DOUGHTY. Joseph and Sophia MARRIED in 1902. No connection between Sophia and our CROUCHER family has been found.

PART 2: G5 EMILY ELIZABETH CROUCHER
Emily [1872, Lambeth, SRY-12 December 1942] died at Monodor St Vincents Lane, Addington, Kent.
Emily married in 1895 in Kent JOHN ERNEST UPTON [1870, Dartford, Kent-?]. John predeceased Emily. His date of death has not been found.
The 1901 CENSUS for EAST WICKHAM, St Michael, near Dartford, shows Emily, 28, born Chatham (sic) and John, 31, born Dartford, Kent, living next to the Station Hotel. Their address is given as Lady Smith, Central Ave, Mafeking, Pretoria, Bloemfontein, South Africa. John was a Police Constable in the MPF. The PF means Police Force presumably, but the M could mean Mafeking, Military or Mounted.
In 1911 Emily 38 and John 41, police constable, lived at North Lodge, Danson Park, WELLING, KENT. They had no children.

**PAGE 6**

PART 3: G5 LILIAN CROUCHER [p5]
Lilian [1877-1944, Chatham] married in 1900 JAMES SOUTHCOTT [c1874, Swindon, Wiltshire -1945]. James was the son of Daniel SOUTHCOTT (striker and blacksmith’s assistant) and Elizabeth Ann LACEY. The registration of James’ birth has not been found.
The 1901 CENSUS shows Lilian, born in Kennington, London, living at 71 Cecil Street, ROCHESTER, St Margaret’s with her baby DAUGHTER, Kathleen (Elizabeth), aged 3 months, born in Rochester, Kent in 1901. James Southcott was stationed in Bermuda on board one of the vessels of the Royal Navy of England. In 1891 James was a boilermaker’s apprentice according to the census of that year.
In 1911 Lilian was living at 60 Cecil Road, ROCHESTER KENT with her two children, Kathleen Elizabeth 10 and George Earnest (sic) 6. James was working that night as the Chief Engine Room Artificer on the “Formidible” located at Gillingham.

Lilian and James had three CHILDREN: *Kathleen Elizabeth, George Ernest (1904-?) and Lilian A (1913-?) [FBMD-I]. There are too many possible marriages of George E Southcott to determine if any one were appropriate.

…G6 KATHLEEN ELIZABETH SOUTHCOTT
Kathleen [1901-?] MARRIED in 1922 in Medway, Kent GEORGE LEONARD V KEYS [1897, Medway-?].
No births of children have been found.

PART 4: G5 ERNEST CROUCHER, [p5]
Ernest, sailor, [1879, Brompton, Kent-?] was married, but the names of his wife and children are unknown.
At the time the 1901 CENSUS was conducted Ernest was serving in the Royal Navy in GIBRALTAR.
The 1911 census listed the now married Ernest attached to the ship, the Implacable. The Implacable was part of the Atlantic Fleet located at GIBRALTAR. It is possible that Ernest married somewhere other than in England and that his family were living near to where his ship was stationed.

PART 5: G5 EDWARD CROUCHER [p5]
Edward, iron turner, [1882, Gillingham, Kent-?] married in 1905 in Strood EMILY LAURA DYSON [1882, Strood, Kent-?]. Their dates of death have not been found.

In 1911 Edward and Emily lived at 27 Gun Lane STROOD, KENT with their two children, Rosylin 5 and Charles Edward Frank 3, and Emily’s father, Charles Dyson, 70.
Edward and Emily had two CHILDREN: Rosaline Marjorie E [1906-?] Charles Edward Frank [1907-?]

…G6 Rosaline (Rosylin on the 1911 census) CROUCHER
Rosslyn MARRIED in 1927 WILLIAM J SEAGER, as Rosslyn M E.
Rosaline and William had two CHILDREN: Phyllis M [m 1947 Edwin C STEBBINGS] and Hugh J, both born in the Reading district [FBMD-I].
…G6 CHARLES EDWARD FRANK CROUCHER
Charles [1907-?] married in 1931 Ivy B JANES. Ivy was probably Ivy Dorothy B Janes born in 1905 in Kent.
Charles and Ivy had at least one son: Brian B [FBMD-I].

PART 6: G5 ALFRED CROUCHER [p5]
Alfred, engine fitter, [1885, Gillingham, Kent-?] married in 1908 near Medway LILIAN MAUD BRUCE [1885, Chatham, Kent-?].
In 1911 Alfred and Lilian lived at 235 Peters Street, ROCHESTER.
Alfred and Lilian had two daughters Margaret L [1913-?] and Irene [1917-?] [FBMD-I].
Margaret MARRIED in 1938 FREDERICK KEMP. They had three children: David, Joyce M and Kathleen M. all born near Holderness, ERY [FBMD-I].
Irene [1917-?] MARRIED in 1948 STANLEY V PAYNE.

**PAGE 7**

SECTION TWO: G3 WILLIAM CROUCHER [p2]
William was BAPTISED on the 17 Dec 1815 and BURIED 20 Feb 1819 aged 3 years and 3 months, both at MITCHAM, SRY.
The baptism and burial of William took place at the Mitcham Parish Church, the Church of St Peter and St Paul.

SECTION THREE: G3 CHARLES CROUCHER [p2]
Charles was BAPTISED on the 12 Apr 1818 and BURIED 29 Sep 1822 aged 4 years and 8 months, both at MITCHAM, SRY.
The baptism and burial of Charles took place at the Mitcham Parish Church, The Church of St Peter and St Paul.

SECTION FOUR: G3 ELIZABETH ANN CROUCHER, [p2]
Elizabeth, dressmaker, was BAPTISED 16 May 1820 in Mitcham, Surrey and DIED 6 May 1909 at Portland House, 3 Brook Street, Gloucester. She MARRIED on 4 April 1847 JAMES HUDSON. They married in St Mary’s Church, Paddington, Middlesex.
James, painter, glazier and plumber, builder and house decorator was BORN about 1820 in Harrow, MDX, the son of William Hudson, carrier. He DIED 18 June 1871 at his home in Hampstead. Note that William Hudson’s occupation is given as farrier on the marriage certificate of Elizabeth’s brother, John [p11].

Elizabeth married well. She and her descendants became relatively wealthy and middleclass compared with the other branches of the family, especially generations four to six. I strongly suspect that Elizabeth’s children had very little contact with their cousins, George, John and Alfred (the sons of her brother, George) even though some of the cousins were of a similar age and all lived in London.
From about 1848 the family lived in HAMPSTEAD, Middlesex, a suburb 4 miles (6.4km) north-west from Charring Cross in a hilly part of inner London.
Records of Hampstead date back to 986 A D. The district was also mentioned in the Doomsday book (1066). However, development of the area was slow until the 1600s. By 1700 a mineral spring in the district was the location of a spa, called Hampstead Wells. A fountain now replaces the demolished spa.

According to the 1851 CENSUS James and Elizabeth were living at 33 Heath St, HAMPSTEAD St John with James, 10 months, a servant and Caroline Ann HUDSON, James’ sister, BORN about 1818 in Harrow. Their eldest two boys, Charles, 3, and William Alfred, 2 years, were living with Elizabeth’s brother, John, and his wife Mary, at 35 Paris St, Lambeth [Pt 5, p11].
In 1860 the expanding railway network reached Hampstead. With the railway came development and a demand for new buildings. Undoubtedly James, and, later, his children, found plenty of work close-by. The construction of luxury housing in Hampstead began in the 1870s and 1880s. Many intellectuals and people from the literary, musical and artistic sphere of society started to move into the suburb. In the 21st century Hampstead is still the locale chosen by many people of similar ilk. High Street forms the hub of much of the social life of the suburb.

**PAGE 8**

When the 1861 CENSUS was taken the family had moved to 74 High St, Hampstead. Charles is no longer shown on the census and is presumed deceased. As well as William and James the children named are Elizabeth A, 9, Mary A, 6 and Caroline E, 1 year. There are also two servants and two lodgers, a married couple aged 50.
James’ sister, Caroline, lodging housekeeper (sic), is living nearby at Bentham House in 1861. Living with her is her niece, Fanny F, aged 7 years and two families who were boarders. Caroline was show living at this same address in both the 1871 census and the 1881 census. Caroline DIED on 3 January 1888 at Delmar House, Gayton Road, Hampstead aged 69 years. She left her estate to her brother, Thomas Charles HUDSON, of Harrow. Records of the Hudson family in Harrow have not yet been found.
At the time of the 1871 CENSUS James, Elizabeth and their four daughters were still living at 74 High St, Hampstead. James died soon after the census had been conducted. James left his estate to Elizabeth. Elizabeth passed the High Street property onto her son William.

In 1881 Elizabeth was living at Hendon, 39 Gayton Rd, St John’s, Hampstead with her daughters, Mary and Caroline, a servant, Alice Andrew, and four female boarders, all young children. Presumably these children formed part or all of the school run by Mary as principal. Caroline’s occupation is given as Assistant, most likely to Mary in the school. This suggests that the girls were well educated.
At the time the 1891 CENSUS was taken Elizabeth and Mary were visiting Caroline and her family. In 1901 Elizabeth was living in GLOUCESTER with Mary and her husband.

Elizabeth and James had seven CHILDREN: Charles, born 1847, Harrow, MDX, *William Alfred [S-s I, p8], *James [S-s II, p9], Elizabeth Ann born 1852 (died 1873?), *Fanny Florence [S-s III, p10], *Mary Ann Helen [S-s IV, p11] and *Caroline Emily [S-s V p11].

Apart from Charles all the children were born at Hampstead. Nothing more is known for certain about Charles, or Elizabeth.
Charles, BORN 1847, was shown on the 1851 CENSUS but not on the 1861census. No record of his death (or possible later marriage) has been found.
Elizabeth BORN 1852 (DIED 1873?), was living at home according to the 1861 and 1871 census records, but she has not been found on the 1881 census. No appropriate marriage record has been found for her. The death of an Elizabeth Ann HUDSON, aged 20 years, was recorded in the nearby Pancras registration district in the first quarter of 1873. Purchase of the death certificate would confirm whether she was the daughter of James and Elizabeth. Occasionally Pancras is given as the registration district for other similar family events.

**PAGE 9**

SUB-SECTION I: G4 WILLIAM ALFRED HUDSON, [p7]
William, builder, [1848, Hampstead-3 Oct 1908] died at 74 High St Hampstead, MDX. William married in 1869 ELIZABETH BELCHER.
Elizabeth was BORN in 1847 in Hemel Hampstead, Hertfordshire. In the 1861 CENSUS Elizabeth was a live-in servant working in London.
The family lived at 74 High Street, HAMPSTEAD (1881-1908). William and Elizabeth have not been found on the 1871 census.

William and Elizabeth had at least ELEVEN children: *James Henry, *Herbert William J, *Alfred Owen F, Arthur Edward (born 1877 and died 1895), *Ellenor/Eleanor Gertrude born 1879, *Richard Ernest, Winifred Marion, (born 1883 and died 1900), Edith Blanche, born 1885, *William Alfred, Evaline Beatrice (born 1889 and died 1894) and Frederick Charles born 1891.

There are several possible marriages of an Eleanor Gertrude Hudson in the period 1898 to 1904.
Neither William Alfred nor Frederick Charles was found on the 1911 census. No marriage or death has been found for either son to 1950.

PART 1: G5 JAMES HENRY HUDSON
James, builder’s foreman, [1870-19 September 1936] died at 24 Orchard Avenue, Finchley. James MARRIED in 1894 CATHERINE ELIZABETH VINE. Catherine [1869, Hampstead-?] was the daughter of Thomas William, carpenter, and Susan.

In 1901 the family lived at 38 Achilles Road, HAMPSTEAD, St Luke’s.
By 1907 the underground railway had been extended to Hampstead and beyond. Again, another period of expansion ensued for the district.
After his father died, James and his family moved into the family house at 74 High Street, Hampstead [1911 census]. His mother moved to Wood Green in North East London. In 1911 15 year-old Leslie was a clerk living with his parents. A Gladys Hudson was a boarder at a school at 36 Edgar Road, MARGATE, KENT.

James’ will also gives as a second address the residence in FINCHLEY where he died. When he died James left his estate to his cousin, Linley Fowler, daughter of his aunt, Caroline [p11]. Why James did not leave his estate to his wife or children or to other members of the family, such as to one of his brothers, is still unknown. Perhaps his marriage ended in divorce, or they had been killed in an accident.

James and Catherine had at least two CHILDREN: Leslie Tardrew (1895-?) and Gladys Muriel (1896-?). No marriage or death of Gladys has yet been found.

[A Leslie T Hudson married Edna Mayoh in 1936 in Derby and had a son, Peter. On the FreeBMD site the spouse name for the entry for Leslie has been incorrectly shown as Maych. Enlargement of the scan of the fiche provided by the FreeBMD site shows clearly that the spouse name on the fiche entry is Mayoh, not Maych. Mayoh is the surname used for the marriage of Edna and for the mother of Peter on his birth entry.]

**PAGE 10**

PART 2: G5 HERBERT WILLIAM J HUDSON
Herbert, plumber, [1872-?] married in 1897 ANNIE BUNYAN, Annie [1873, Hampstead-?] was the daughter of Richard, coachman, and Penelope.
In 1901 the family lived at 78 Fortune Green Road HAMPSTEAD.
At the time they had one daughter, Muriel Doris L, born in 1897.

By 1911 Herbert, Annie, Muriel 13, Vera 9 and Eric 6 had moved to 7 Alexander Avenue, SOUTHALL, MDX.

PART 3: G5 ALFRED OWEN F HUDSON
Alfred [1874-?] was MARRIED in 1901 to AGNES JANE PALMER.
In 1901 Alfred was a boarder living at 5 Railway Approach, WORTHING, St Andrews, Sussex. He was self-employed, seemingly in the freight business, but the record is obscure.

According to the 1911 CENUS Alfred, Agnes and their two sons were living at 117 Deacon Road, WILLESDEN, London.

Alfred and Agnes had two SONS: Albert Edward [1902, Willesden-?] and Alfred Hector [1904, Willesden-?].

In 1911 Richard, Helena and Kenneth, 11 months, lived at 55 Ivy Road, CRICKLEWOOD.
Richard and Helen had one son, Kenneth Ernest [1910-?] [FBMD-I].

PART 6: G5 WILLIAM ALFRED HUDSON

SUB-SECTION II: G4 JAMES HUDSON, [p7]
James, plumber journeyman, builder’s foreman, [1850-19 November 1907] died in Hampstead. James MARRIED in 1870 ELIZABETH DAVEY [1846, Redruth, Cornwall-?].
The 1871 CENSUS shows James and Elizabeth living at 6 Church Row, HAMPSTEAD. In 1891 and 1901 the family lived at Holly Bush House, Holly Mount, St John’s, Hampstead, although the 1891 census has the word Holme instead of House. They have not been found on the 1881 census. The family was still living at this address when James died in 1907. James left his estate to his wife, Elizabeth.
James and Elizabeth had at least eight CHILDREN: *James Thomas Harold, *Frederick Horace, *William Davey, *Robert Edgar [p10], Mabel Gertrude born 1877, *Charles Edward [p10], *Mary [Elizabeth] [p10] and *Ernest Leonard [p10].

PART 1: G5 JAMES [THOMAS] HAROLD HUDSON
James, bank clerk, [1871-12 December 1926] left his estate to his brother, Frederick. James lived at Trewirsie, 10 St Johns Road, GOLDERS GREEN with other members of his family [1911-1926].

It is possible that several grandsons of William and James may have fought in World War One. No research has been done concerning this.

**PAGE 13**

SUB-SECTION III: G4 FANNY FLORENCE HUDSON [p7]
Fanny [1853, Hampstead, MDX- 8 Sep 1934] died at home. She married in 1878 ROBERT HENRY HUXLEY, clerk in an ink factory and accountant.
Robert [1852, Lambeth-14 October 1919] died at home.

In 1881 they lived at 149 Thorpedale Road, ISLINGTON. By 1891 Fanny and Robert were living at The Ferns, EDMONTON. They continued to live at this address for the rest of their lives. Later the address is given more fully as The Ferns, 24 (The) Limes Avenue, NEW SOUTHGATE. Limes Avenue is near Arnos Grove station on the Piccadilly Line, north of central London.
Fanny and Robert had no children. Fanny left her estate to Charles William FOWLER, Insurance clerk, husband of her niece, Linley, daughter of her sister, Caroline.

**PAGE 14**

SUB-SECTION V: G4 CAROLINE EMILY HUDSON, [p7]
Caroline, school assistant, [1859, Hampstead, MDX-15 Sep 1918] died at 15 Anson Road, Cricklewood.
Caroline MARRIED in 1885 HERBERT JOHN HOWARD CORY TURNER (aka Herbert Howard TURNER), Life Assurance Insurer. Herbert [1861, near Pancras, London-14 April 1930] died in Eastwood, Essex.
Herbert left his estate to his second wife, Mary Rose.

Caroline, Herbert and their only CHILD, *Linley, lived at 37 Pandora Road, St John’s, HAMPSTEAD (1891) and 15 Anson Road, WILLESDEN (1901-1918).
When she died, Caroline left her estate to her daughter, Linley.

PART 1: G5 LINLEY MURIEL COREY TURNER
Linley [1885-?] married in 1910 CHARLES WILLIAM FOWLER.
Linley would have become quite wealthy. Four relatives left their estates to her when they died. Some of these estates were valued at over one thousand pounds, a sizable sum of money at the times of the bequests.
Their children are unknown for certain. The London Fowler/Turner births include twins Lionel C (m 1938 Hampstead Natalie Worobjeff) and Mary C (m 1939 Hampstead Cecil J M Stickland) registered in 1911 in Willesden, Emily 1914 Chipping N, Frank TT 1915 Brentford, Evelyn M 1920 Uxbridge (m 1938 Uxbridge Ronald W Clark) or Margaret 1920 Camberwell and Alan C 1921 Camberwell (m 1947 Wandsworth Moreen D Biddle).

SECTION FIVE: G3 JOHN CROUCHER, [p2]
John, carpenter, was BAPTISED 19 Jan 1823 Mitcham, SRY and DIED in 1897.
John married MARY ANN HUDSON on 27 August 1848 in St Ann’s Church, Waterloo (?), Surrey-the writing is very hard to interpret. Both could sign their names, unlike Mary’s father, William, farrier. (Note that William’s occupation is stated as carrier on the marriage certificate of John’s sister, Elizabeth [p7].)
Mary [1823, Harrow, MDX-1862] was the sister of James HUDSON (also born in Harrow) who married John’s sister, Elizabeth [S-s 4, [p7].

The 1851 CENSUS shows John and Mary living at 35 Paris St, LAMBETH, SRY. Living with them are John’s father, William [p2], and two of the children of Elizabeth and James Hudson, Charles and William [p7]. It appears that John and Mary had no children.
In 1881 John was a boarder at 9 Brougham Street, BATTERSEA, Surrey. In 1891 John was boarding with the same family but they had moved to 28 Brougham Street, Battersea.
John has not been found on either the 1861 census or on the 1871 census.
Since both Elizabeth and John married people from Harrow it suggests that they both lived there during the 1840s. William may have found work in Harrow after his wife, Elizabeth, died and so he settled there with his two youngest children.

DIVISION TWO: TWO AUSTRALIAN FAMILIES

CHAPTER ONE: LONDON TO LEICHHARDT

G4 JOHN JAMES CROUCHER [p3]

John, printer, [21 Jan 1849, at 8 James St, Lambeth Walk, SRY, ENG-3 Dec 1921] died at 248 Norton Street, Leichhardt, NSW, AUS and was buried on the 5 Dec 1921 in the C of E Cemetery, Rookwood.
John was MARRIED on 18 April 1868 to CHARLOTTE ROSINA BAPTIST [p50]. Charlotte was the daughter of James, chair caner, fruit seller, labourer and Maria Louisa SIMPSON. John and Charlotte were married in St Stephen’s Church, Lambeth, SRY, by Allan T EDWARDS, jnr with James John BAPTIST and Mary Emma ELLIS as witnesses.
Charlotte [c1845, St Pancras, London, ENG-29 Jun 1919] died at 248 Norton Street, Leichhardt, NSW, Aus and was buried on 1 Jul 1919 in the C of E Cemetery, Rookwood.

The 1871 CENSUS for St George, SOUTHWARK, shows John, Charlotte and their children, John, junior and Charlotte, junior living at Treveris, 25 Valentine Place, Southwark.
In 1881, according to the CENSUS of that year, John, Charlotte and their children lived at Prescott Place, CLAPHAM, SRY, probably at number 4.
When an appeal for labourers was sent to England from Australia John found himself at a crossroad of life, living out his family name. The chance had come for him and, eventually, his family, to leave the inner London slums for a very different life. John responded, putting down his age to 28 years and posing as a single man. He arrived in Sydney, NSW, aboard the Assaye in 1883. Soon after his arrival John resumed his trade as a printer. After John had settled he sent for his family who arrived in 1885 aboard the Gulf of Mexico.

A John Croucher, printer, is found at Cottenham Street, GLEBE in the 1886 directories. This was a business area. There is also a John Croucher at 2 Eden Cottages, Station Street, PETERSHAM. This may have been his residential address. In 1887 John Croucher, printer, was living at Macauley Street, LEICHHARDT.
From 1887 to 1913 the family lived at 242 Norton Street, Leichhardt, although the house is listed in the name of A Croucher in 1902 and 1903. There is a mystery here. From 1889 to 1892 the house is in the name of John B Croucher, described as a printer in 1889 and 1890. Yet John B Croucher was a butcher by trade and not related to the family discussed here. I suspect some confusion by the authorities between John J Croucher, printer, a newcomer to Sydney and John B [Bute] Croucher, butcher, [a long-time resident of NSW].
By 1914 the family has shifted to 248 Norton Street, Leichhardt where John had built a small timber cottage with the help of his family. Members of the family continued to occupy the cottage until 1997, a period of about 83 years.
Some of the descendants of John and Charlotte still live in Leichhardt. The family has now had an association with the Leichhardt district for at least 120 years.
John does not appear on the electoral rolls from 1910 to 1920. Enrolment was not compulsory during this period. Since he had enrolled earlier it is possible that he was unwell during this latter part of his life and so was no longer enrolled.

G5 CHARLOTTE MARIA CROUCHER
Charlotte [13 Nov 1870, 22 Valentine Place, Southwark, SRY-26 Dec 1892] died in Watsons Bay, Sydney Harbour, and was buried 2 Jan 1893 C of E Rookwood.
Charlotte died in a boating accident on Boxing Day. A number of other people died in the same accident. The story of the accident and the search for bodies is told in the Sydney Morning Herald in a number of articles on different days. Her body was not recovered for several days. Charlotte’s father had the unpleasant task of identifying her disfigured body.
The family visited Charlotte’s grave regularly for many years. When her parents could no longer tend the grave Thomas, Charlotte’s brother, assumed the task. Later he was joined by his children, especially Henry. Henry continued to tend the grave once a month when Thomas became too frail to do so. Eventually Henry’s health also deteriorated and so his visits to Charlotte’s grave ceased.

SECTION ONE: THE MERRYLAND CROUCHERS

G5 JOHN [WILLIAM] CROUCHER [p16]
John, engine fitter, stationary engine driver, [21 Mar 1869, Vauxhall St, Vauxhall, SRY, ENG-23 Jan 1947, Merrylands, NSW, AUS] was buried 24 Jan 1947 at Section 12, of the C of E Cemetery, Rookwood.
John married on 25 Mar 1891 ELLENOR SARAH DAVIES, shopkeeper, daughter of John DAVIES, carpenter, and Elizabeth ROBINSON. No registration of the birth of Eleanor about 1865 or 1866 has been found although her parent’s marriage in 1866 was registered.
Ellenor [c1866-24 Jul 1933] died at home from asthenia [weakness], haemaplegia [stroke] and diabetes and was buried on the 26 Jul 1933 at the C of E cemetery, Rookwood.
John and Ellenor were married at the residence of the bride’s parents at Annesley St, Leichhardt in a Congregational Church ceremony conducted by the Rev. J.M. Bayley. Alfred CROUCHER and Jane DAVIES were witnesses.

Initially John and Eleanor moved about frequently, but later they were much more settled. They lived at 134 Catherine St, LEICHHARDT in 1892 [birth certificate of Elsie]; at 14 Hearn St, LEICHHARDT (1893); at 4a Raper St, NEWTOWN (1894); at 21 Balmain Rd, LEICHHARDT (1895) and at 142 Francis St, Leichhardt (1896). In 1897/98, and possibly for longer, the family lived at 42 Young St, ANNANDALE where Ellenor ran a grocer’s shop. From 1899 to 1901 and from 1903 to 1915 they lived in Bellevue Pde, HURSTVILLE. In 1902 they lived temporarily at Railway Pde, KOGARAH. In 1915 they moved to 4 Quarry St, TEMPE where they lived for about three years. Tragedy struck during this period with the death of their son, William, in World War One [p15].
By 1919 the remaining family had shifted to Haroldene, Myall St, MERRYLANDS where they resided until 1923. The Sands and McDougall Post Office Directory shows that their house was just to the east of Roseberry St, possibly on the corner, and that next door Ellenor ran a shop. From 1924 they lived at 48 Belmont St, MERRYLANDS where both John and Ellenor died.

John and Ellenor had four CHILDREN: *Elsie Gladys Irene [S-s I, p18], *William [Roy] Elwyn [S-s II, p20], *Ivy Ethel May [S-s III, p21], and *Harold Eric Ffrangon[S-s IV, p22].

SUB-SECTION I G6 ELSIE GLADYS IRENE CROUCHER [p17]
Elsie, shop assistant, [11 Apr 1892, 134 Catherine St, Leichhardt-5 Nov 1948] died at home from a coronary occlusion and cancer of the descending colon. She was BURIED 8 Nov 1948 at the C of E cemetery, Rookwood.
Elsie MARRIED on 16 Dec 1922 RICHARD JOHN WILLIAMS. Richard was a shop keeper, labourer, son of Richard John WILLIAMS, contractor, and Adeline URCH.
Richard [c1890, Melbourne, VIC-7 Jul 1956] died at Liverpool State Hospital from acute myocarditis and acute pneumonia. He was BURIED 10 Jul 1956 at the C of E cemetery, Rookwood. Registration of the birth of Richard has not been found in either Victoria or New South Wales.

Elsie and Richard were married in the Church Hall of St Ann, C of E, Loftus Park, Merrylands by Mr Horace Croft with Hannah Grundy, H.J. CROUCHER [p19] and William James Williams as witnesses.
They lived with their children, Joyce Elsie, typist, *Richard William, *John Herbert [p19] and *William Roy [p19], lived at Myall St, MERRYLANDS [1925 to 1926] before moving to 33 Hawkesview Rd, MERRYLANDS [1928 to 1933] and 48 Belmont St, MERRYLANDS [1934] to live with Elsie’s father after her mother died. They both continued to live there until they died.

Part 1: G7 TERRENCE LEO FOSTER
Terrence, labourer, married in the 1960s Joyce Elsie Williams, the eldest child of Elsie and Richard Williams. Terrence [17 Mar 1915. Moombooldool, near Narrandera, NSW-15 Apr 1974] was CREMATED 18 Apr 1974 at the Crematorium, Rookwood. This was a second marriage for Terrence. He first married in 1935 Annie M. NASH. There were two children, Betty and Billie, from this first marriage. Terrence was the son of Leo H who married Irene M HIGHAM in 1913.
Initially Terrence lived with his second wife at 93 John St, LIDCOMBE. About 1970 they moved to 10 Water St, LIDCOMBE. A J.E. Foster shown living in Wentworthville in the early 1980s phone books has not been found on the electoral rolls. Later, from 1988 to 1994 Terrence’s elderly wife was living at 3/62 McBurnley Rd, Cabramatta. Terrence served in the army in WW2. In the 1960s he had no occupation although he was only about 50 years old. This suggests that he may have been a TPI pensioner due to war injuries. There were no children from his second marriage.

Part 2: G7 RICHARD [DICK] WILLIAM WILLIAMS
Richard, carpenter, [11 Dec 1927-20 Dec 1995] was CREMATED 22 Dec 1995. Richard MARRIED on the 22 Jan 1949 at St John’s C of E Parramatta SHIRLEY ROSE LORENSSON.

Initially Richard and Shirley and their seven children, Arthur J (m Christine Angela), Steven L (m Caterina Irene), Pamella C (m Michael), Suzanne E (m Bradley), Julie, Robert L (m Trula) and Richard J (m Theresa), lived at 84 Cardwell St, CANLEY VALE (1954-1958). By 1959 family had moved to 82 Cardwell St, CANLEY VALE before moving back to 84 Cardwell St (1977-1995). Richard put his age up so that he could serve in the RAAF in WW2.

SUB-SECTION II G6 WILLIAM [ROY] ELWIN CROUCHER [p17]
William, packer, was BORN on the 28 Sept 1894 in Leichhardt and DIED 19 Jul 1916 in France.
William’s war record is now available on the internet.
Graham Croucher writes the following notes on William in his visual family history.

William joined the army on July 23 1915 at Liverpool NSW. His Regimental Number was 3272 and his rank was Private. At the time his parents were living at Elsinor 4 Quarry Street Tempe NSW.
On January 6, 1916 he was Taken on Strength at Tel-el-Kebir. On February 13, 1916 he was transferred to 53rd Battalion at Tel-el-Kebir,and on February 14, 1916 he was Taken on Strength of 53rd Battalion at Tel-el-Kebir. He embarked at Alexandria on Royal George to join the British Expeditionary Forces disembarking at Marseilles France on June 28 1916. He was declared Wounded and Missing in France on July 19 1916, subsequently being declared Killed in Action. His grave is at V.C. Corner Australian Cemetery Fromelles, France, along with 409 others.

Fromelles is a village and commune in the Department of Nord, nine miles West of Lille. It is the terminus of a light railway from Don-Sainghin; the nearest important railway station is Armentieres. The village was captured by French cavalry and the 2nd Royal Iris on the 17 October, 1914, but when trench warfare began it was behind German lines.
V.C. Corner was the name given to the crossing of the Rue Delvas and the Rue du Bois, two miles North-West from Fromelles village and within the British lines; but the Cemetery is nearly half-way along the Rue Delvas towards Fromelles.

On the morning of the 19th July 1916, after a preliminary bombardment, the 5th Australian and 61st (South Midland) Divisions undertook what is officially known as the Attack at Fromelles, advancing from the Rue Tilleloy near Picantin. The 61st Division attack failed in the end, with the loss of 1313 officers and men out of 3410 who took part in it. The Australian left and centre reached the German trenches and held their second line during the day and night, but the right was held off by a fierce machine-gun barrage and only reached the front line in isolated groups. The action was broken off on the morning of the 20th, after the 5th Australian Division had lost over 5000 Officers and men. It wads (sic) the first serious engagement of the Australian forces in France, and the only one which achieved no success; but the losses alone would prove that no other Division could have fought for success more heroically.

V.C. Corner Cemetery was made after the Armistice. It contains the graves of 410 Australian soldiers who fell in the Attack at Fromelles and whose bodies were found on the battlefield, but the identification of even a single body proved to be impossible. It was therefore decided not to mark the individual graves, but to record on a screen wall the names of all the 1298 Australian soldiers who fell in the engagement and whose graves were not known. Of these, 314 belonged to the 60th Battalion, 241 to the 59th, 190 to the 53rd, 163 to the 32nd, 373 to other Infantry Battalions, 11 to the Australian Machine Gun Corps, and 6 to the Engineers.
The cemetery therefore consists of a grass lawn, enclosed by borders of flowering shrubs, a rubble wall and hedge. On the further side of the road is a stone terrace, on which the Cross stands, flanked by two buildings; and behind the Cross is the screen wall bearing the names with the inscription: “In honour of 410 unknown Australian soldiers here buried, who were among the following 1299 Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers and Men of the Australian Imperial Force, killed in the Attack at Fromelles, July 19th and 20th, 1916.”
The cemetery is planted with trees. The surrounding countryside is open farming land, rising slightly to the Aubers Ridge on the East.
The Register records particulars of 1298 Australian dead, the grave of one soldier whose name appears on the Memorial, having been found subsequently.

SECTION THREE: THE CAMPSIE CROUCHERS

G5 THOMAS HENRY CROUCHER [p17]
Thomas, marble polisher, [18 Aug 1876, 17 Horace St, South Lambeth, SRY, England-12 Apr 1953 in NSW, AUS] was BURIED 13 Apr 1953 in the Independent Section of the Rookwood Cemetery after a service at the home of his daughter, Millie, at 2 Samuel Street, Wiley Park.
Thomas was MARRIED on 21 Aug 1901 to EVA ASPINALL. Eva was the daughter of Albert Wood ASPINALL, stonemason, builder and Mary Jane BENNETT. Mary Jane was the daughter of JOHN BENNETT, tailor, and JANE BATHGATE (see Bennett and Aspinall family information).

Thomas was a quiet, gentle, meek person who was dominated by his matriarchal wife. He dearly loved his sister, Charlotte and so he cared for her grave regularly for many years.
Thomas was a very skilled marble polisher. On of his major tasks was to polish the marble pillars of the Anthony Hordern’s department store in George Street, Sydney (now demolished). Thomas sought a way to use the large number of abandoned chips of marble found at his workplace. He suggested that they be set in concrete slabs to be used as kitchen bench tops and similar surfaces. This marble terrazzo became a feature in many houses built from that time onwards in Sydney, including in the first house in which I lived as a child.
Thomas was also very competent with other manual skills. He bought houses, renovated them then rented them to others. This meant that the family moved with reasonable frequency. When tenants vacated a house the family moved back into the house for a short duration while the house was repaired and repainted.
Thomas and his family lived in Leichhardt, Stanmore, Belmore, Kogarah and Campsie: see the Aspinall family history “Built to Last” for details).
(See death notices, electoral rolls, especially on Ancestry on the Internet, and telephone books or a printed copy of the family history for further details of the families descended from Thomas Croucher.)

From 1944 to 1947 they lived at 248 Carrington Ave, Hurstville although only Albert is on the 1947 electoral roll. After this, tracing Albert and Millicent becomes difficult due to illness. From 1958 to 1960 Albert is living with his son, Leslie, at GLENORIE, but Millicent is not shown on the electoral roll as living there. In 1964 and 1965 Millicent was living with Leslie at HILLTOP, near Bowral.

Albert and Millicent had four CHILDREN: *Albert Reginald [S-s I, p27], George [15 Jul 1911 to 20 Jul 1911], *Leslie James [S-s II, p29] and Maxwell [28 Jan 1928 to 28 Jan 1928].

SUB-SECTION IV: G6 JOHN MANN [p27]
John, entomologist, [13 Aug 1905, Queensland-?] MARRIED in 1926 at Rockdale, NSW, MURIEL EDITH DINES [?-?].

John had no formal training in entomology. From his teen years he had a keen interest in insect natural history and in breeding insects. His self-taught knowledge and expertise in identifying and breeding insects was sufficient for him to be employed as a technical entomologist in a laboratory setting. For people with a much broader, formal training in entomology his lack of a formal education is very apparent when reading of comments that he has made about the topic. He lacked a general understanding of invertebrate behaviour and of insect-plant relationships amongst other aspects of the subject, although he was extremely knowledgeable in specific areas.
John was awarded an MBE in the 1969 for his roll in determining how to breed the Cactoblastis insect which lived on the cactus plants which were destroying farmland across much of eastern Australia. (The author learnt something of this during biological tertiary studies in the early 1960s.)
John and Muriel Edith, lived in CHINCHILLA, QLD in 1930 and at Hawthorne, Dan Street, GRACEVILLE, QLD in 1936-7. By 1943 they had moved to 10 Dunella Street, SHERWOOD, QLD where they continued to live for a number of years [Ancestry, I].
Neither John nor Muriel has been on the Australian electoral rolls for many years.
John and Muriel had at least one son, K J, clerk (see 1954 electoral roll for Moreton, Queeensland).

There are many references to John Mann, entomologist on the internet:

Presumably, this street is named after Frederick for the work he did in preparing the land for this housing estate. Finally they lived at 38 First Farm Drive, CASTLE HILL where Fred died. It is uncertain whether K is the husband of R or a child of Fred and Yvonne. When he died Frederick was the GRANDFATHER of J, C, S, B, S and K (see death notice).

Tom CROUCHER [p48] wrote about Alice: “Planning to be married in 1901 she discovered that her husband to be was already married. Apparently Alice and her friend were not prepared to end the relationship, and her family were not willing to accept it, so she moved out of home and rented a place in Waterloo. In 1902 she became pregnant and her baby (Eleanor Mary Croucher) was born in November 1902. Further tragedy struck when in March 1903 Alice contracted Scarlet Fever and died within a week. Her mother looked after Eleanor, who unfortunately died of Bronchitis in December 1903.”

SUB-SECTION III: G6 WILLIAM CHARLES ROBSON, [p37]
William, engineer, [16 Sep 1904, North Botany-6 Jun 1955, Concord Repatriation Hospital], died from complications caused by stomach ulcers. William left his body to the University of Sydney and so there was no funeral. He was later buried in the Rookwood Cemetery in 1956.

Alice is reputed to have married John Bede Evans [c1919-16 Sep1961] after the death of William. No registered marriage of either party has been found, which suggests that it may have been a de facto marriage. John was the son of Edwin Alexander and Alice. Alice had had a relationship with John Evans since the early 1940s.

Early in their marriage William and Alice lived with his parents at 15 Alfred Street, MASCOT. In 1936/7 they lived at 134 Botany Street, Mascot. A more thorough search of electoral rolls is required to find more addresses as my searches to date have been unsuccessful. In 1949-50 a William Robson, soldier, is registered at the Repatriation General Hospital, Concord West. It is unknown whether this is the same William Robson mentioned here. William spent much of the post-war period as a patient at the Concord Hospital. William and Alice had one daughter, A M who spent most of her childhood living with her maternal grandparents.
A M ROBSON married in 1945 in Dubbo G D DHU [NM]. Both served in World War Two: their dates of birth are on the internet on the World War Two Nominal Roll. They lived in Papua-New Guinea for many years before moving to Queensland [E, AE].
The Dhus had three children: DA [m1 R J Bush; ch-KJ and JG; m2 C C Graham], WS [m R P C Bober-no children] and GS [m1 Catherine Grace Fowler (dec); ch-LA, SK, DA, NL; m2 D M B]].

SECTION THREE: THE SANS SOUCI CROUCHERS

G5 ALFRED GEORGE CROUCHER [p36]
Alfred, lithographer, painter, carpenter, [17 June 1878, Battersea, SRY, ENG.-13 Aug 1934, Sans Souci, NSW] was BURIED 15 Aug 1934 at the C of E Cemetery, Woronora after a service at the C of E Church, Sans Souci.
Alfred MARRIED on 31 Jan 1901 at St Silas C of E Church, Waterloo, NSW ELEANOR NELSON ANDERSON, book-folder, daughter of Alexander McMillan ANDERSON, carpenter and Eleanor GLAIR.
Eleanor [1881, Glasgow, Scotland-15 Aug 1972] was BURIED 17 Aug 1972 at Woronora Cemetery after a service at a funeral parlour.

Alfred had the artistic talent found in the Croucher-Baptist-Aspinall families. His work as a lithographer required highly-developed artistic and technical skills. A lithographer produces stone printing plates. Firstly he draws the required outline on thin slabs of suitable stone with appropriate, fat-soluble chemicals and then he etches the stone with other water-soluble chemicals to leave the raised outline necessary for printing.
Initially Alfred and his family moved frequently. They lived at 113 George St, WATERLOO (1901), 320 Jones St, ULTIMO (1903), 117 Quarry St, SYDNEY (1904-1905), 13 Burlinson St, Ultimo (1908-1907) and 374 Jones St, Ultimo (1908-1911). About 1911 Alfred changed his occupation. The reason for this change is unknown, but there are many possibilities. Perhaps his work was becoming obsolete as more modern methods of producing printing plates were introduced. His income may have been too small to support his growing family, or the chemicals may have been affecting his health. A change in his eyesight or the muscular co-ordination needed for the job or an injury to his hand may also be among the possibilities for the change Alfred made.
After becoming a self-employed contractor Alfred remained for a more extended period at each of the houses he occupied, starting with 399 Harris St, ULTIMO (1912-1917). From 1918 to 1923 the family lived at Battle Boulevard, SEAFORTH. In 1924 they were living at The Esplanade, BRIGHTON-le-SANDS. Later the family lived in Forest Rd HURSTVILLE (1927-1928). It is possible that once Alfred became a carpenter and painter-decorator he may have bought a house, renovated it, then sold it and moved into another house to repeat the process.
The family relocated to 13 Ada St, SAN SOUCI, (1928-1933) where Alfred Snr died. Soon afterwards Eleanor and her children shifted to 12 Plimsoll St, Sans Souci (1934). By 1936, Eleanor had returned to 13 Ada St, Sans Souci while her unmarried, adult children, Alfred and Ruth, remained at the Plimsoll St address. After Ruth married Eleanor and her son, Alfred, went to live at 92 Napoleon St, Sans Souci (1939-1955). From 1963 to 1965, Eleanor and Alfred lived in unit 8, 60 Malabar Rd, SOUTH COOGEE; then, from 1966 to 1972, they lived at unit 24, 60 Malabar Rd, South Coogee. Eleanor spent the last months of her life at the Masonic Homes, Glenfield. Alfred, snr was a member of the Masonic Lodge, Kingsgrove and a member of the Church of England Lay Readers Association.

CHAPTER ONE: G1 JAMES JOHN BAPTIST
James [c1816/17-7 Jul 1885] was born in the Westminster district of London, MDX, England, and died in the St Pancras Infirmary, Kentish Town, from heart disease.
James married twice. Firstly he MARRIED about 1837/8 MARIA LOUISA SIMPSON [c1819/20, Lambeth, London SRY-23 Mar 1877, St Pancras, London].
On 3 Dec 1877 James MARRIED the widow ANNE [ELIZABETH] MARGETTS [c1828/9, St Martins, London, MDX-1910 aged 81 years]. In 1849 Ann Elizabeth PARNCUTT had married John William MARGETTS. John died in mid-1877. The 1881 CENSUS gives her name as Ann.

James worked as a fruit seller [1837], labourer [1839, 1870], chair caner [1851, 1877, 1881], shopkeeper [1861-4] and chair mender [1885].
In 1837 the family lived at 4 Hiskey Place, MARSH [an area of Lambeth]. Later they lived at Granby Gardens, WATERLOO [1839], Tottenham Road, St PANCRAS [1841], 3 Shropshire Place, MARYLEBONE [1851], [1881] 2 Tottenham Street, [1861], 8 Whitfield Street, Marylebone [1871], 13 Upper Gower Mews, Marylebone [1877-1881] and 5a Little Pancras St, Pancras [1885].

Six CHILDREN are known from James’ first marriage: *James John [jnr] [S 1 p58], *Maria Loetitia [S 2 p64], *Mary Ann Charlotte [S 3 p64], Charlotte Rosina [see Chapter Two, p16], *Edward [S 4 p67] and a daughter, [Emma?], BORN about Sept 1850 in the Pancras district of London. Oral family history states that Emma was one of a pair of twins. The other twin, if s/he existed, is unknown and may have been stillborn.
.
Nothing more is known about this daughter, Emma, apart from her being listed on the 1851 census return. Emma’s birth, like that of most of her siblings, does not appear in the lists of civil Registrations of Births. No further children have been located in the 1861 census, although some may have been born and died but not been registered between the 1851 and 1861 census.
None of the children could sign their names on their marriage certificates.

WALTER WHITBREAD HEIL, the son of John George Heil and Mary Jane Young [Section Two, p73] married LOUISE CROUCHER [p31].
This is a brief summary of the extended family of Walter Heil. For many years this appears to be the only Heil family living in Sydney, New South Wales.
A WERNER HEIL married ELIZABETH DAY in 1874. It is unknown whether Werner is linked to the family considered here. Nothing more is known about Werner. However, an Elizabeth Heil is on the 1903 electoral roll living at 17 Mary Street, Surry Hills with Mary Anne.

The purchase of birth, death and marriage certificates would extend considerably the information available about the family.
A summary/index for the first three generations of the family may be found on page 84kk.

DIVISION ONE: THE FAMILY OF GEORGE HEIL

G1 GEORGE HEIL
George, baker, (c1825?-8 JUN 1865), was born in Butzbach, Germany. He came to Sydney, Australia in about 1844.
Walter Heil had an uncle, George Heil, the son of JACOB W HEIL.
George MARRIED SARAH ANN COWELL (1834-7 NOV 1875) on 13 DEC 1855 in St Thomas Church, Enfield. Sarah was the daughter of the late William and Elizabeth, from Brighton.
Sarah’s funeral on was held on 9 NOV 1875 at the Camperdown Cemetery [SMHDI-I].

George rented a house and shop at 157 York Street, SYDNEY from at least 1860. It was here that he died. The brick building with a shingle roof was of two storeys and had six rooms. In 1871-5 the widowed Sarah lived at 104 Riley Street, WOOLLOOMOOLOO.

NOTE: a Jakob William Heil married in London in 1865. He may link to this family where Jacob W is a name used several times. The family had links with London (see G2 Jacob William Heil, [p73] below).

George and Sarah had five CHILDREN: *William George, Walter Whitbread (1858-JAN 1881), *Elizabeth Ann, George G (28 SEP 1862-?) and Jacob W (2 DEC 1864-JAN 1866). Jacob’s funeral, held on 25 JAN 1866, left his mother’s residence in Burwood (no actual address is given) [SMHDI-I].
Nothing more is known of George G. He probably died in infancy.
The funeral of Walter W on 22 JAN 1881 left 84 Riley Street, Woolloomooloo for Rookwood Cemetery [SMHDI-I]. Walter died at the home of A H Ward, the father of his sister-in-law, (see William George Heil below). Albert Ward lived at Lower McLaren Street, St Leonards. Walter was probably unmarried.

G2 ELIZABETH ANN HEIL (30 NOV 1860-1950?) married on 8 DEC 1880 WILLIAM H THOMPSON. Lizzie and William married in St Peter’s C of E Woolloomooloo [SMHDI-I].
William, the son of James H Thompson and Mary, was born in 1858 [NB] and died in the Casino district in 1926[ND].
The birth notice Elizabeth was in the Sydney Morning Herald on 1 DEC 1860 [SMHDI-I]. An Elizabeth Ann Thompson died in Killara in 1950, aged 89 years. Her father’s name was given as George Samuel. This name suggests a possible confusion with George and Sarah. Nothing more has been found about Elizabeth and William.

**PAGE 74**

SECTION ONE: G2 WILLIAM GEORGE HEIL
William (1856-10 JAN 1894) married ANNIE ELIZABETH WARD (1855-22 JUL 1943) on 25 JAN 1882. They were married in St Phillip’s C of E Sydney [SMHDI-I]. William’s father was named as George G Heil. This is the only reference I have found to a middle name for George.
Both William and Annie, the daughter of Alfred Haynes and Anne, died in Glenbrook. Annie was buried in the C of E Cemetery, Emu Plains.
William and Annie lived at Lord Street, St Leonards (1883), and at “Deepdale” Bent Street, St LEONARDS (1883-1894) before moving to “Heilbron” 59 Explorers Road, GLENBROOK.

William and Annie had two CHILDREN: Lyall Isobel Beatrice (16 MAY 1883-3 NOV 1906: both [SMHDI-I]) and *Wilfred Haynes William.

SUB-SECTION I: G3 WILFRED HAYNES WILLIAM HEIL
Wilfred, storekeeper, butcher, farmer, (1891-13-24 JAN 1965) died at his home, 59 Explorers Road, Glenbrook. The date of Wilfred’s death is uncertain. Presumably he was last seen on January 13 but not found until January 24 when people began to wonder where he was. He was buried 28 JAN 1965 in the Anglican section of the Eastern Suburbs Cemetery, following a graveside service.
Wilfred did not marry. Wilfred served in WWI and was TPI when he died.
In 1914 Wilfred ran a store in SPRINGWOOD. Later he was a butcher at GLENBROOK (1921-23) By 1930 Wilfred was farming at Lockwood, SEVEN HILLS. In 1936 Wilfred was farming at ROOTY HILL.

*************************

DIVISION TWO: THE FAMILY OF JOHN GEORGE HEIL

G1 JOHANN (JOHN) GEORGE HEIL [p73]
John, baker, (c1831-12 FEB 1884) was born in Germany, the son of JACOB HEIL and the brother of George Heil (Division One, [p73]). John was buried 14 FEB 1884 in the Balmain Cemetery. He migrated to Sydney, Australia about 1854. Later In Memorium notices in the Sydney Morning Herald state the year of John’s death as 1881, but this does not agree with the details held by the NSW Registry of BDMs. This is an excellent reminder of how necessary it is for the family historian to find multiple sources and primary sources of data.
John MARRIED in 1860 MARY JANE YOUNG (c1837-25 AUG 1895). Mary was buried 27 AUG 1895 in the Balmain Cemetery.
John’s funeral left his residence, 44 Glebe Road Glebe [SMHDI-I]. The family later lived at 56 Glebe Road GLEBE, where it appears that they ran a bakery. They also had a business at 3 George Street, West, SYDNEY. Mary maintained the business after the death of John with the help of her son, Jacob, who lived with her, even after his marriage. An article in the Sydney Morning Herald on 6 June 1894 mentions the bankruptcy of Mary Jane Heil who was unable to pay her rates [SMHDI-I].

John and Mary had thirteen CHILDREN: Mary J (1861-1861), *Christiana Louise [p75], *Eva Jane [p78], *John George [p79], *Jacob William [p81], Charles Henry (1868-28/9 AUG 1897), *Emily Florence [p93], *Sarah Ann [p84], Alfred E (?-1874), Walter Whitbread [p31, 73] (1876-1946), Elizabeth J (1878-1881), *Albert “Edward” [p87] and Hermann A (1882-1882). All the children’s births were registered in Glebe.

The funeral of CHARLES HENRY HEIL on 31 AUG 1897 left the residence of his brother, John George of 67 Derwent Street, Glebe, for the Balmain Cemetery. This brother was probably John George Heil [p60].

**PAGE 75**

THE FAMILY OF CHRISTIANA LOUISE HEIL

SECTION ONE: G2 CHRISTIANA LOUISE HEIL [p74]
Christina (7 AUG 1862-MAY 1895) MARRIED in 1884 (as Louise C) HENRY NEATBY VAUGHAN (1863-2 AUG 1914).
Henry, an estate agent, was the son of Henry E and Mary A. Henry and his father had a business at 142 Kent Street, Sydney. He had been appointed as a JP and was an alderman with the Darlington Council when he died.
Louise died at Hampstead, Glebe Point Road, Glebe. Her funeral was held 18 MAY 1895 at the Old Anglican Cemetery, Rookwood. Eventually her husband, Henry, was BURIED with Louise.
Louise is sometimes recorded as Louisa.
Initially the family lived at 26 Brougham Street, GLEBE (1886) before moving to 13 Raglan Street, DARLINGTON (1887-8). They then shifted to Kennedy Street, GLEBE (1889-1893) and to 12 Oxley Place, GLEBE POINT (1894-7). At the time of his death Henry was still a member of the Glebe Bowls Club.
For a number of years the widowed Henry and his children lived at 19 Raglan Street, DARLINGTON (1898-1907) before moving to “Ellwinning” 12 Codrington Street, DARLINGTON (1909-1914).
Louise and Henry had three CHILDREN: *Bertha Louise, *Estrella Mary [p77] and *Henry Ludwig Heil [p77].

SUB-SECTION I: G3 BERTHA LOUISE VAUGHAN
Bertha, waitress, (1885-17 NOV 1967) MARRIED in 1915 WILLIAM S COVER, grazier, (1887-28 JUL 1970). William was the son of William Partridge H and Louisa.
William and Bertha lived at Clylie, BOGGABILLA (1917-1970). Their family continued to live in northern New South Wales and Southern Queensland.
Bertha and William had at least three CHILDREN: *William Henry,*Kenneth Samuel [p76] and *Albert Walter [p76].

Part 1: G4 WILLIAM HENRY COVER
William, station hand, grazier, (14 SEP 1916-?) was born in Goondiwindi, Queensland. He married in 1941 GRACE ELLEN HISLOP WRIGHT. They appear to have separated in the early 1960s and later to have resumed their marriage.

William worked for his father until the early 1960s when he moved to Queensland. Grace remained behind in Boggabilla until about 1976 when probate was granted for the will of her father-in-law, William. With her in 1973 was JANET DOROTHY COVER, jillaroo.
From 1963 to 1975 William was a grazier at Caithness, MEANDARRA. His son also worked with him until 1972. By 1977 he was a grazier at Taronga, GOONDIWINDI, where his wife, Grace, had joined him. William retired to 30 Russell Street, GOONDIWINDI (1995-2000). Goondiwindi is five kilometers north of Boggabilla. William is no longer on the electoral rolls and is almost certainly deceased.

William and Grace appear to have had two CHILDREN: W A and J D and at least three GRANDCHILDREN: A J, D J and T L.
(See death notices, electoral rolls, especially on Ancestry on the Internet, and telephone books or a printed copy of the family history for further details of this family.)

Kenneth served in WWII. He and Joyce ran the Darlington Downs property, 2274 Meandarra-Talwood Road, MEANDERRA in Central Queensland. In the 1980s they retired to Koala Park, Condamine-Meandarra Road, MEANDARRA, a property run by W J C and T L, possibly a son and his wife. Kenneth and Joyce are no longer on the electoral rolls.
Kenneth and Joan had at least three other CHILDREN, D L *H T and *P K.

William and Anne had at least two CHILDREN: Kristopher John and Emma-lee Anne.

G5 LENORD GEORGE COVER

NOTE: there are a number of different Cover families, probably all related, living in the Meanderra district. This has made it more difficult to separate the different family groups.

THE FAMILY OF JACOB WILLIAM HEIL

SECTION FOUR: G2 JACOB WILLIAM “Billy” HEIL [p74]
Jacob, baker, (1866-18 JUL 1895) was BURIED in the Balmain Cemetery on 21 JUL 1895 [SMHDI-I]. His funeral notice in the Sydney Morning Herald requests London newspapers to copy the notice. This suggests that the family had relatives still living in London; relatives with whom they were still in contact.

Jacob MARRIED in 1892 FLORENCE ALICE CARLOTTA STIDOLPH (nee FAUST) (?-1964). Florence was the daughter of Leopold and Louisa. Florence died in Manly as Florence PARTRIDGE, the wife of EDGAR GEORGE PARTRIDGE (23 DEC 1863-23 DEC 1933). Edgar was the son of James and Sarah.

Jacob and his mother died about five weeks apart. Jacob’s sister, Louise Vaughan, had died about two months prior to Jacob’s death. These three close deaths in the family suggest that they may have died from a contagious infection, although it is also possible that the three close deaths were purely coincidental.
An In Memorium notice for Jacob in 1899 says “inserted by his loving wife and son F Heil and little Billie”. This wording has been difficult to correlate with official records, but Billie may be the son of Florence from a previous marriage.
Jacob and Florence had one SON, *Leopold, born in Glebe.

LUCY HOLLIS married ALFRED EDWARD CROUCHER in 1896 [p24]. Below are further details of her family.
A summary/index for the first three generations is located on page 97.

THE MEANING OF THE NAME HOLLIS
The name Hollis is a Location name originally from Chestershire and Lancashire. The name means “homestead amongst the holly trees”.

G1 EDWARD (WILLIAM RICHARD?) HOLLIS
Edward (35) and his wife, MARY (32) arrived in Sydney, NSW, Australia, in 1884. They arrived with their seven children as assisted migrants on board the Warwick. The names William and Richard are taken from the official New South Wales death index where they are given as the father’s name for several of his children.
At the time of their emigration to Australia the CHILDREN of Edward and Mary were Mary Elizabeth (15), *Lucy (13) [p24], *Sarah Ann (11) [p90], *William Daniel (7) [p92], *Henry (5) [p93], *Robert (3) [p98] and *Ernest Edward (1) [p99]. Two more CHILDREN were born in Sydney: *Ada Frances in 1885 [p100] and *Sydney (Sidney) George in 1887 [p101].

Mary [1851/2-?] was born in North Cosgrove, Northamptonshire, England. Mary remarried in 1896 THOMAS SHAW WHITBY GRAY. Her death has not been found. There are a number of entries for the death of a Mary Ann Gray. Knowing the names of her parents (possibly to be found on her 1896 marriage certificate) may lead to the appropriate entry. Mary was still alive in 1922 when her son, William, died.

At the time of the 1881 census the family was living in Cosgrove, Buckinghamshire. Mary, their eldest child, was no longer living with the family. Most likely she was already in servitude to another family.

G2 MARY “ELIZABETH” HOLLIS
The most likely birth was that of Mary Elizabeth BORN in Radford, Nottinghamshire, towards the end of 1869. Mary Elizabeth MARRIED in 1887 in the Glebe district PATRICK H. RUSSELL. They had one DAUGHTER, Rose A. born in 1888. Nothing more is known of this family. Mary is not named in the funeral notices for William in 1922.

EMMA ELIZABETH CROUCHER [p37] married WILLIAM JOHN ROBSON [p107].

The research for this Robson family history was done as a combined project by May Dhu and myself. I am grateful to May for her work on the South African stage of her family tree and for sharing it with me. This then enabled us to further trace the family in England.
More information about the family could be obtained if more BMD certificates were purchased.
A summary/index for the first three generations is located on page 85.

DIVISION ONE: THE EARLY ENGLISH RELATIVES

G1 WILLIAM ROBSON
The International Genealogical Index (IGI) shows that the Robson family can be traced back to WILLIAM ROBSON who married ANN PEARSON in Heworth, Durham, England on 17 May 1790. They had at least two children: *William and Robert who was baptized 20 SEP 1804 in Heworth.

G2 WILLIAM ROBSON was born 22 APR 1794 and baptized 22 DEC 1794, both in Heworth, Durham, England.
William married SUSANNAH FATHERLEY on 9 FEB 1817 in Heworth.

Their CHILDREN include *William James, Susan, baptized 13 SEP 1822, Mary baptized 21 JAN 1824 and George baptized 18 AUG 1825. All the children were baptized at the church of St Sepulchre, London. A Jane Robson was the witness at William’s marriage. She may also have been his sister.

**PAGE 106**

DIVISION TWO: THE ROBSON FAMILY IN SOUTH AFRICA

G3 WILLIAM JAMES ROBSON, shipwright
William was born in Shadwell, London and baptized 15 DEC 1819 in the church of St Sepulchre, London. He died 8 MAR 1887 in Port Nolloth, Cape Province, South Africa.

William was MARRIED on 10 JAN 1842 to MARIA TIPPIT, a dressmaker. They were married in the Parish Church of St George by banns.
When they married William was living at 30 Gill Street, Limehouse and Maria was living at 6 Salmon’s Lane Limehouse.

Maria was the daughter of George Tippet, engineer. Her birth has not been found. There were three deaths of a Maria Robson from 1842 to 1858: in 1847, 1848 and 1857. From the districts in which they occurred, the last death in 1857 seems to be the most likely death of interest here. When Maria married she was able to sign her name.

William and Maria had three known SONS: *William George (DIVISION THREE below) [p107], Henry Albert and *Charles Ernest. The names Henry and Albert do not appear to have been continued within this branch of the family. Nothing more is known about Henry Albert.

(It has been written that William married ISABELLA GRAHAM WINZAR on 8 NOV 1845 at St Edmunds, Salisbury, Wiltshire. This is most unlikely, unless his first wife died soon after the birth of William in 1843 and that this was a second marriage. No such death of a Maria Robson has been found. It would be unusual for William, employed in the maritime industry, to be living in inland Wiltshire.
This would also mean that Henry and Charles were actually William’s half-brothers.

Most likely, this marriage of Isabella was to a different person with the same name.
Isabella, the daughter of David and Sarah COX, was born 21 JAN 1821 and baptized 5 JAN 1823 in the Endless Street, Independent Church, Salisbury.)

William and his family do not appear on extant 1851 census records. Had it survived, the 1851 census record would have provided useful information about the name of William’s wife, information about Maria, if she were still his wife, and about the number and ages of their children.

It appears that William’s first wife (or first two wives) had died before William moved to South Africa since his wife does not appear on the shipping lists of immigrants to South Africa.

William moved to Cape Town in the 1850s to work for Murray and Prince, boatbuilders. His two younger sons, Henry and Charles, arrived in Cape Town on 20 August 1858 on board the Caroline Elizabeth.
William’s eldest son, William George, a block maker, arrived in Cape Town in September 1859 on board the Lord Raglan. Most likely William had to remain behind in England to finish an apprenticeship before he could join the rest of his family in South Africa. However, young William did not spend many years in South Africa before he moved to Sydney, Australia (see DIVISION THREE below, [p107]).

William, senior, was MARRIED for a second (or third) time to SUSANNAH SARAH BIGG on 23 JUL 1867 at St George’s Cathedral, Cape Town, South Africa. This was a first marriage for Susannah.
Susannah, the daughter of John and Elizabeth, was born 3 FEB 1818 and baptised I MAR 1818 in St Dunstan, Stepney, London, England. She died 21 JUN 1890 in Port Nolloth, Cape Province, South Africa.

G4 CHARLES ERNEST ROBSON
Charles was born c1851 and died 12 FEB 1930 in Kenilworth, Johannesburg, South Africa.
Charles married MARY McDONALD. Later they were divorced. Mary later remarried and is named as Mary Innes on the death certificate of Charles.

Charles worked for de Beers Consolidated Mines. At the time of his death Charles lived at 68 Kingdon Street, District Township Krugersdorp.

Charles and Mary had two CHILDREN: Percy Lionel and Mabel Evelyn (married PAUL ELS). They also adopted a daughter, CATHERINE LILY DOW (married ALBERT SMITH).

DIVISION THREE: THE ROBSON BRANCH IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA

G4 WILLIAM GEORGE ROBSON [p106]
William was born c1843 (see below**). He died 5 AUG 1919 in George Street, Waterloo, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, aged 76 years.
William was MARRIED to JOHANNA HALLORAN on 4 OCT 1867.
Johanna, the daughter of John O’Halloran and Maria DALY, was born c1844 in Ireland and died 19 JUN 1906 in Waterloo, NSW, aged 62 years.

Johanna (13) migrated to Australia in 1855 on board the Anna with her father, John (38), sister, Maria (11) and brother, Michael (8). Since John’s wife was not with him it is presumed that she had already died. His wife’s death may have prompted John to bring his family to Australia to a warmer climate.

**William’s birth date of 1843 is deduced from his shipping record to South Africa and is consistent with many other records of his age. The birth of William does not appear to have been registered.

William had many occupations: block-maker (1859), ship’s steward (1867-9), baker (1871), storeman (1874-76), publican (1878-1882) and verger. A block-maker made wooden pulleys for the sails of sailing ships.
William managed the Court Morning Star Hotel, located on the corner of George and Raglan Streets Waterloo (now demolished). Eventually he became the verger at St Silas’ C of E Church, Waterloo for many years. This church was later destroyed by fire. There are a number of documents about this church held by the State Library of New South Wales [I].

William and Johanna lived in George Street, REDFERN in 1869, 46 Sarah Ann Street, STRAWBERRY HILL (1871-4), 88 Palmer Street, (1876) and at the corner of George and Raglan Streets, WATERLOO (1878). William managed the Court Morning Star Hotel, located in Raglan Street Waterloo (1880-1882). The family next lived at 48 George Street, Waterloo (1883-92). Later they lived at 130 George Street, Waterloo (1893-1910). Eventually George moved to Roseville, 115 George Street, SURRY HILLS where he spent the rest of his life. After she married his daughter, Bertha, and her family, continued to live with her parents.

William and Johanna had five CHILDREN: Agnes Maria (20 SEP 1869-1871), *William John, *Charles Ernest [p108], *Bertha Grace [p108] and Eva Maud (10 SEP 1878- SEP 1879). Eva was buried 23 SEP 1879 at the Necropolis (Rookwood Cemetery).
Note that Maria was the name of both of Agnes’ grandmothers.

G5 WILLIAM JOHN ROBSON
William (5 JUL 1871-10 May 1950) married EMMA ELIZABETH CROUCHER [p37]. Further details of this family are found in the Croucher family history.
