Fanny Louise Crawcour was baptised Sept 12 1869 -parents Samuel Walter Crawcour -clerk and his wife Emily 15 York Street St.Simon Zelotes Bethnal Green.
By 1869 Samuel was a bankrupt- The Edinburgh Gazette 6 August 1869
Samuel Walter Crawcour 22 Alderney Road Mile End Road, previously at 10 Nicholas Street, Saint Peter's Road Mile End Road both in Middlesex previously at 28 East Surrey Grove Peckham Surrey, Commercial Clerk.

The 1871 Census was the last official record that Samuel is shown living with his wife and children-
1871 (Copyright,TNA) RG10 566 7 8
10 St Peters Road Mile End Old Town London
Samuel Crawcour H M 42 Clerk b Norwich Norfolk
Emily wife 30 b Surrey Southwark
Elizabeth E dau 5 b Camberwell
Fanny L dau 1 b Middx Mile End
William Barnes brother u38 Private b Surrey Souhwark
Annie Perry u niece 17

The Surrey Electoral Rolls show that between 1873-1875 Samuel was at 10 St Peters Road Mile End Old Town.
However, by 1876 he is recorded in the Electoral Rolls at 9 Dagmar Road Camberwell.
Importantly, this is also the address of his brother Isaac Henry and the 1881 Electoral Rolls give Samuel the same address but no further data post 1881.
He does not appear with his wife in the 1881 or subsequent census. This may suggest possible situations- he may have separated from his wife and gone to live at his brother Isaac Henry address at 9 Dagmar Road Camberwell and post 1881 or earlier he may have left the UK but there are no records to indicate this at present.

The 1891 Census also shows no record of Samuel Crawcour.

Emily died in 1900- GRO Death Index Oct qtr 1900 Emily Crawcour age 59 Romford 4a 260. She was buried Tower Hamlets Cemetery 24 Dec 1900- Emily Crawcour b abt 1841 age 59 30 Aldboro GardensSeven Kings Ilford.
She had been baptised 26 Feb 1841 St.George the Martyr Southwark Surrey father William Henry Barnes Printer - mother Diana Bridge House Place

Elizabeth Emily Crawcour had married William Alfred Wilson in 1888.
Parish Church St Botolph Bishopsgate London

Dec 19 1888
William Alfred Wilson 22 Bachelor Colour Manufacturer Skinner Street Bishopsgate father William Wilson Chemical Manufacture
Elizabeth Emily Crawcour spinster 25 Ilford Essex father Samuel Walter Crawcour Merchant in America
Witnesses-Isaac Henry Crawcour; William Wilson

The marriage certificate is the clue to Samuel having gone to America. The family history suggested that he had gone to meet up with his sister Rebecca who had married Frederick Aschenbach in 1860 Pennsylvania. Frederick and Rebecca had come from the USA on a trip and left Liverpool in 1878 for a return to NY. Whether or not Samuel was already in the USA is not known and there is no record to indicate that Emily knew where he was or if Rebecca told her if she actually knew herself. Similarly, Isaac Henry Crawcour was at the wedding of Elizabeth Emily in 1888- did he know where his brother was and why did Samuel give the same address as his brother in the Electoral Rolls after he was married. This are unanswered questions.

There are family trees online which have William and Elizabeth in the USA but records show this is incorrect.

The family records and photographs which include Elizabeth record her death in 1962 giving her an approx age of 95+. There is a GRO Death Index Record for an Elizabeth E Wilson March qtr 1962 Camberwell 5c 282 but this would require confirming.

Some years ago I had discussed with one of my distant Crawcour cousins the question of whether or not Emily Barnes who had married Samuel Walter Crawcour was related to Amelia Barnes who had married David Crawcour died 1882 St Helier Jersey. Amelia Barnes was born circa 1801 and died 1870 St Helier Jersey. Emily was born in 1841.

I began research to see if there was any relationship between the two women and the following is part of the ongoing process.
The following data relates to the parents and siblings of Emily Barnes:
This maybe the marriage of Emily's parents- William Barnes -Diana Dale St Giles Camberwell Southwark 20 May 1819 witnesses Sarah Clark? Rich Rickwood

I can't see Emily in the 1851 census but she may have been at a school

Phillip,

My interest in this post rests with the residence of William Alfred Wilson and his family.
St Breock, Vicarage lane was my father-in laws family home, bought by his father (Dr D H Smith) in 1938. I believe this to be the year of William's death. I am interested to find out about certain artefacts that were sold with the house. I am new to this forum so not sure how you can contact me privately. Hope you may be able to help as its not clear how you are related to this family (guessing you are or you wouldn't be researching them!) DizzyLizzy

Dizzylizzysmiff- I have sent you a private message-see Notifications. Unfortunately, I know nothing about any artefacts and the Samuel Walter Crawcour line is not my own line but part of the ongoing research I have been doing for twenty years into my Crawcour lines world wide.
