There are two entries in Ancestry Public Member Trees for Ada Croucher born in September 1876 in Camberwell (this is incorrect because the Ada born in Camberwell had the second name Lilian and died 6 years later, and Bermondsey was never in Camberwell), parents George Croucher and Louisa Kemp, and the 1881, 1891 and 1901 census entries. Another entry gives her birth in Bermondsey in 1876, parents George Croucher and Louisa Kemp.
On the site of Susan Martin there is an entry for Ada Croucher born 1876 daughter of George Croucher and Louisa Kemp.
