The index shows Charles MORCRAFT and his family in Marylebone, all apparently born in Middlesex. However, I am unable to locate either the relevant marriage or the births of either daughter in the BMD index.

Would someone check the transcription from the film please.

Thanks

Peter

Yes, thats the one. It was the index on FMP/GR

If anyone can see if their agree with the transcription of the surname, it would be helpful

Thanks, I guessed so. The family seems a bit elusive in other census although Charles does seem to be in the 1841, in Holborn

That makes sense. That will teach me not to allow for him marrying at 18!

Can't find the other daughter's birth -
unless this is it, but I'd be very surprised if it is. Wrong place and middle name, for a start:
