Christening of John Croucher in the IGI on 19 January 1823 in Mitcham, Surrey, parents William and Elizabeth Croucher.
In the 1841 census as John Croucher aged 15 (rounded down to a multiple of 5), not born in Surrey, a carpenter and living with George (brother?) and John Logger (aged 30 and a carpenter), his wife? (Mary aged 30), children? (Hannah, Nancy and Mary), Richard Lovejoy (aged 20 and a carpenter), and Jane Lovejoy aged 30, (the size of the household is not clear) in Waterloo Road, Lambeth.
There are two possible marriages in FreeBMD for John Croucher in Lambeth (Mary Ann Cane in July-September 1848 (4 297) and to Mary Ann Cryer in January-March 1850 (4 222) - I suspect the first one is correct as there was a Mary Cane in the 1841 census aged 18, born in Middlesex and living in St Anne Limehouse.

I cannot find any entries in the 1861 or 1871 censuses - there are possible deaths for his wife in FreeBMD in April-June 1855 in London (1c 73), October-December 1856 in Shoreditch (1c 87), and October-December 1862 in St Saviour (1d 23).
