I,m new to all this. But I seem to be stuck on a relative I can find him in marriage but that is where the trail ends. George Alfred Crouch was born in 1902 and died in 1985 can anyone help me on where to go next as he does not show up any where else. Many thanks

You didn't say where.

Is this him?

Births Mar 1903 (>99%)
Crouch George Alfred Maidstone 2a 858

Hi Ashley and welcome to the boards

Can you please give an area of where he was born and/or died

Thanks

George Alfred Crouch
Birth Date: 5 Dec 1902
Date of Registration: Jul 1985
Age at Death: 82
Registration District: Maidstone
Inferred County: Kent
Volume: 16
Page: 1105

Death matches with your info and Beverley's birth reg - there was 6 weeks to register a birth, so a listing in the Jan-Mar quarter the following year is feasible

He died in Maidstone too...Do you know what his parents names were?

I've sent Ashley an message saying how to return to this thread

or the names of siblings?

Hi guys thank you for your help sorry I thought I had put the place down it is Maidstone. I don't know who his parents was and to be honest that is what I really want to find out he was married to Rosina Kirby.

Make a note of this link to GRO (General Register Office) the officlal source site for all England and Wales BMD certificates.

Unless additional information is available to help us find him on 1911 census, you may have to buy the Birth Certificate. That will cost you £9.25 inc P&P and ought give the mother's name including her maiden name, as well as the name of George's father if known/declared.

Added - do you have a copy of his MC? Does it give a father's name? The witnesses might be from 'his side' of the family

Marriage also in Maidstone

Spouse Surname: Crouch
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1931

As there's nothing obvious on the 1911 census you really need his birth or marriage certificate to find out his father's name and occupation. There are a number of possible children all registered Maidstone for the couple.

How have you got back to him - it sometimes helps with the searching?

Image says married 1902

Note ..................

there is an Alfred Crouch, b.ca 1902, Tonbridge, Kent on the 1911 Census


This is NOT your guy ........................

an Alfred John Crouch was born Dec quarter 1902 registered Tonbridge ..... and this is the one shown as Alfred


I cannot find George Alfred Crouch anywhere other than in the bmds on ancestry


I fear that you will have to buy his birth certificate to get more information on him ............... please be sure that you do not pay any more than £9.25 (including postage) for the certificate, as some sites charge much more.

DetEcTive has given you the site to go to when ordering the certificate on line

from ancestry ..... may give another way to find George Alfred's family

I do not know if this is your tree, or if you know about it.


from a Public Family tree ............... not much documentation, therefore should not be trusted absolutely, but does give hints.


The children of the marriage should be hidden(shown as Private) as all of them are born within the last 70 years, and are probably still alive. Ancestry usually automatically hides all persons born within the last 100 years with no death date shown.

Thanks for all your help guys it looks as if I will have to buy his birth ce rt.
I cannot understand why nothing shows up on him as he was my grandfather
So he is not far back in my ancestors.How could the trail dry up so soon.

it's very probable that his name has been mis-transcribed on the 1911 Census .............. but there are so many Crouch's and versions of the spelling that none of us can be sure what we are finding.

We also do not know whether he usually went by George or Alfred when he was younger

If you get his birth certificate, then that will give us other names to check.


He was too young to be in WW1, and WW2 records are not easily accessible on the internet.


Buy his birth certificate. It should arrive in 5-10 days.

Then return to this thread and post the information on here.

Then we'll all give it another go.


Good luck!!
