This explains Humphry's imprisonment:

Humphrey Cronan
Date of Trial: 17 Feb 1879
Trial Year: 1879
Location of Trial: Lancashire, England
Sentence: Imprisonment
Crime: See Image
Date of Execution or Release: See I

He was given 5 years for Larceny from a ship.

It gets more fascinating! I think Humphreys mother was a peddler from Ireland, lodging in Liverpool with three of her children, one of whom was Humphrey

Yes, I can see that 1851 census - Mary (born Antrim) a "visitor" with children John (Ireland) Humphrey and Ellen (Liverpool), so you are not buying the info that he was born in Kent then?

Thank you so much for the info on Cronans and Matthews from which we have now been able to build up a picture. We are, however, now stuck on my husbands mothers side! She was Margaret Wilson born 1910 in Preston. Her parents were Matthew Wilson born 1874 in Hexham, Northumberland and Margaret Throup born 1882. With Throup being an unusual name you would think we could easily find her birth, but we can't! Also we can't find anything more about Matthew Wilson. I would think Margaret Throup was born in Lancashire. Any ideas please? Thank you in advance!

Don't know where you've looked.................this is from LancsBMD, which I told you about on page one of this thread

You really should put it in your favourites, and use it
