Member Since: August 2009 Posts: 771 Send Message	Thanks Andrew - this certainey looks promising. I have her married to William in 1861 and 1871 censuses where they have a son transcribed as Thomas Critchley Brown which is why I thought that might be her maiden name. Your 1851 ref shows a Crutchley and her parents being George & Lucy which are also names of her children in 1871 census so definitely need to follow this up. She would be my gggm
