Pat and Mike Whitehad an entry (no longer available)

"Daniel Croucher was the illegitimate son of Mary Anne Croucher. She married William Chase on the 16th of April 1811 and had another daughter and three sons from that marriage. They seemed to have lived in Titchfield. Mary Anne was the daughter of John Croucher and Eleanor Binstead (Nee Houghton) who married in Botley on the 12th of August 1784. Although Eleanor Houghton's family can be traced right back to 1500 also in Titchfield, no one has so far been able to trace John Croucher's family prior to his marriage in Botley. There is a suggestion he was also born in Titchfield around 1750, but no proof and there was another Croucher family in Titchfield, which it is not thought he was connected to. Daniel's wife was Mary Primmer, but we don't have any date for the marriage."
