Notes by Alfred state that Fanny was born in 17 Seymour Cr, Euston Sq, London, John Walter, John James and Frank were born in Milton Cr, Euston Sq, London, Annie Josephine in William St North, Caledonian Rd, London, and that the family moved to Ketton, Rutland in April 1859. Annie Josephine was thus buried in Ketton Churchyard (1861), and Alfred (1860) and Grace Beatrice (1864) were born in Ketton.

On 5 September 1867 Fanny wrote of an imminent move to Stratford. Fanny Adela was married in Northampton on 26 September 1867 and the next day the Kraushaar family moved to Stratford. John James was buried in Taunton in 1874, Grace was married in Wellington, Somerset in 1898.

Joined Plymouth Brethren and ministered in Northampton, Stratford-on-Avon, and finally Somerset where he built Chelmsine Chapel and wrote and printed books.
