Notes for John Barcroft
JAB in his Fragments had said he was of Rossendale, Lanarks, but the 1881 census gives a very different story.

In 1881 he was living at Booth Fold, Newchurch, Lancs with his wife, two daus, two granddaus and one servant.

Too many John Barcrofts on FreeBMD to begin to guess his death date.
_______________________________________________

There are two marriages of John Barcrofts between 1840, when he was 16 and 1848 which is the year before his daughter’s birth:

Marriages Sep 1845 Barcroft John Bury 21 201
Marriages Mar 1848 BARCROFT John Haslingden 21 311

Of these I guess that the second is more likely as Newchurch is in the Haslingden district. The second marriage consisted of two from the following eight:

BARCROFT John Haslingden 21 311
CHADWICK Edward Haslingden 21 311
Macauley Owen Haslingden 21 311
Newton Mary Haslingden 21 311
ROTHWELL Mary Haslingden 21 311
SIMPSON Grace Marshall Haslingden 21 311
Tattersall Ann Haslingden 21 311
WHITAKER James Haslingden 21 311

My guess is that this John Barcroft m. Ann Tattersall.
