My best guess for the parents of the Cranes in their twenties (and Robert age 30 in the household next door) is that they may have been William Craine and Jane Teare. Unless someone else has already researched this, it's going to be tricky to prove because so many of the Craine baptisms in the IGI are patron submissions.
