Notes

Entry for Eliza Jane Croucher in the Register of Births in April-June 1854 in Fareham (2b 431) which included Cosham.

In the 1861 census as Eliza J Croucher aged 7, born in Cosham and living with her grandparents (John and Hannah Fullick), her sister (Rosa L), uncle (Edward Fullick) and aunt (Jane Fullick) at East Cosham, Widley, Hampshire.

In the 1871 census as Eliza Croucher aged 17, born in Widley, single, employed as a cook, and living with Frances Anne Curtis (aged 48, born in Wymering, Hampshire and an annuitant), Eliza's sister Rose, a groom (Albert Fiefield aged 21, born in Rogate, Sussex and single) and a lady's maid (Elizabeth Ogiloy aged 27, born in Scotland and single) at East Cosham Cottage, Widley.

In the 1881 census as Eliza Croucher aged 27, born in Cosham, employed as a domestic servant and living with Thomas Tugwell (aged 25, born in Brighton, single and employed as a gardener) and her sister Clara who was a visitor at Wyberlie House, Keymer, Sussex.

There is an entry in FreeBMD for the marriage of Eliza Jane Croucher and Henry Allen Sansom in July-September 1881 in Fareham (2b 1021).

I cannot find an entry for her or her husband in the 1891 census, but her son Henry C Sansom was living with her mother Maria.

In the 1901 census as Eliza J Sansom aged 47, born in Corsham (sic), married but her husband away on business, and living with her son (Henry C), and two sisters Clara Goucher (sic) and Rose Goucher (sic) at Queensthorpe, Cosham, Hampshire. I cannot find an entry for her husband who I guess was the Henry John Allen Sansom in FreeBMD born in January-March 1853 in Brighton.

Relationship

Eliza Jane Croucher was my second cousin twice removed (via her mother).
