Notes

Christening in my father's records of the Frensham Parish Registry. Christening of Mary Croucher in the IGI on 26 August 1827 in Frensham, Surrey, parents Charles Croucher and Harriett. The christening is also in West Surrey Family History Society Frensham Baptisms adding that the father was a potter.

A Mary Croucher had a son Edward Croucher christened at St. Mary the Virgin, Frensham on 18 October 1846 in the IGI - there is no father's name, and I can't find any further information on him. However there is no entry in the West Surrey Family History Society 1851 West Surrey Census for either Mary or Edward -she was not living at home.
