Update on my latest investigations – have put new information on George Henry Froud into website and TMG – still to file away relevant papers.  He seems to have had a third Christian name i.e. Moses –according to one of the Ancestry.com contributors.  I haven’t seen evidence of that myself so perhaps it is”inside information” so to speak – eg handed down in the family bible?

Am now looking at his wife Harriet Barden –  found a lot of her siblings and names of parents – they seemed to stay in Staplehurst in Kent for many years where Harriet herself was born – but, the only marriage I can find is in Maidstone.  Harriet’s mother seems to have been born in Staplehurst but as there are two Ann Craddocks born within 3 years of each other there, it is difficult to say which is ours.  Harriet’s father is a mystery too, cannot find his birthplace – as yet.
