Notes

Entry in Ancestry All Ontario, Canada Births, 1869-1913 for Esther Alfreda Croucher born on 14 August 1908 in Muskoka, father Alfred Croucher, mother's maiden name Clough.

In the 1911 Census as Alfreda Croucher born in August 1909 (this conflicts with the information below which I assume is correct), aged 2, and living with her parents (G Alfred and Mary), and sister (Ruth) at Medora Peninsular, Muskoka, Ontario.

Alfreda Croucher is on Fern McLiesh's site on RootsWeb World Connect as the daughter of George Alfred Croucher and Mary Emily Clough.

The following obituary which was from The Bracebridge Examiner references Alfreda Croucher:
It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of Hilda Norma Woods (née Croucher) at her home on High Falls Road in Bracebridge, on September 17, 2004 at the age of 90. Predeceased by her sisters Alfreda, Loretta, Ruth, Jean, and her brother Victor Croucher.

This reference is no longer accessible but similar information is at Ontario Genealogical Society:
WOODS, Hilda Norma. At her home on High Falls Rd., Bracebridge on Friday, September 17, 2004 at the age of 90. Wife of the late Arthur WOODS. Predeceased by her brothers and sisters Freda, Ruth, Loretta, Victor and Jean.
