Birth of Ellen Fullick in FreeBMD in April-June 1872 in Farnham (2A 114).
From a copy of the entry of birth for Ellen Fullick on 25 May 1872 in Churt, Frensham, Surrey, father Henry Fullick employed as a farm labourer, mother Martha Fullick formerly Shrubb, informed by Henry Fullick her father (who made his mark so could not write) on 29 June 1872.
Entry in Ancestry Surrey, England, Baptisms, 1813-1912 for Ellen Fullick born on 25 May 1872 and christened on 14 July 1872 at Churt, St John the Evangelist, parents Henry and Martha Fullick. "Page 10 Baptisms solemnized in the Parish of St John's Churt in the County of Surrey in the Year One Thousand Eight Hundred and Seventy Two [...] 1872 born May 25 1872 July 14 No. 77 Ellen [parents] Henry [a] labourer, and Martha Fullick [of] Churt".
Her sister was born on 1 April 1874, registered in in April-June 1874 in Farnham, and baptised on 17 May 1874 at St John the Evangelist, Churt when they were living in Churt.
In the 1881 census as Ellen Fullock (sic - in the index, Fullick on the original), aged 9, born in Frensham, employed as a farm worker and living with with her parents (Henry and Martha), four brothers (Arthur, Frederick, James and Samuel) and two sisters (Kate and Lilly - this was Lily Hurst Fullick her neice, daughter of Mary Anne), in Churt. The entry is between Simmons Stone and Wellmer's Cottage so I assume this was Coppice Cottage where my father lived later on.
In the 1891 census as Ellen Fullick aged 18, born in Frensham, Surrey, single, unemployed, and living with her parents (Henry and Martha), four brothers (Arthur, Frederick, James and Samuel), and two sisters (Kate and Lily who was her neice) at Simmond Stone, Headley. The previous entry was Simmond Stone, the next entry Frensham Pond Hotel followed by Wishanger so I assume this was Field House which is only a short walk from Coppice Cottage, but the other side of Barford Stream which forms the county and parish boundaries.
She was a witness (together with her future husband James Croucher) at her sister Kate's marriage at All Saints, Headley on 12 December 1896.

Entry in The Pastoral Notebooks of Wallis Hay Laverty Rector of Headley 1872-1928
From Phillip Brooks: Churt: A Medieval Village - Coppice Cottage is probably on the site of the first assart in the early 13th century and enclosed by the de Hales. The area was known as Lower Hale Head. The cottage suggests a date of 1660. The stones from the old floors are now used as garden paths. The track on the south side (now a path) was formally a public road to Field House and Wishanger.
Ellen Fullick was my grandmother.
