Marriage of Frank Croucher and Elizabeth Herrington in the IGI on 31 July 1851 in Felpham, Sussex,
His children were born in South Bersted.
I believe he died before his wife married James Duke on 27 March 1858 - there is an entry in FreeBMD for the death of Francis Croucher in April-June 1854 in Chichester (2b 191).
There is an entry in Ancestry Public Member Trees for Frank Croucher, husband of Elizabeth Herrington. Another entry adds his birth in 1826 in South Bersted, Sussex and his son Edward. Another entry gives his parents as Frank Croucher and Hannah Bay and the date of his marriage as 31 July 1851 in Felpham, Sussex. Another adds both sons, and give the date of his death as December 1859 (I believe this was the date of his father's death).
