Interesting thread and one I stumbled across while researching my own family tree (the photographer I think was an ancestor of mine and one I had no idea about until a few weeks ago.

I think people did not travel much and the census lists their address as Falsgrave in 1881 and Victoria Road in 1891 - I am guessing this is where the business was as well but would love to narrow it down more precisely!

Thomas Boxell (and his sons) were photographers in Scarborough as other people have said. Dates I have are late 1870s to 1880s

Thanks for everyone's replies. I filled in a few gaps from everyone's posts! Still have some gaps though if Sunflower is still active on here?

Derbyshire / Tracing forwards? Mycroft family in Pinxton
« on: Thursday 03 March 11 07:42 GMT (UK)  »
I have traced my family tree back as far as I can from where I am (I live overseas) but seem to lack to ability or knowledge how to find children of my grandfather's siblings! I guess it is possible that they are alive but I have no names, no information at all to go on.

I have no idea what to do as I have nothing to search on - I wondered if anyone could help me or point me in the right direction how to find any offspring of the following couples:

Frank Bernard Mycroft  - Born 1 July 1896  Derbyshire Pinxton - Died 1965
and
Gladys Phillips - Married 1927


Albert Straw Mycroft - Born 24 May 1898 Derbyshire Pinxton - Died 1971
And  / or (I am not sure which one is correct or maybe he was married to both)
Gladys Granger   Married 1918  / Annie Holmes  1921??


Dorothy Ann Mycroft - Born 31 May 1903  Pinxton Derbyshire - Died ???
And
Harry Baggaley - Married 1925


Any advice / information on how to find any children of these couples would be greatly appreciated !

I think I might be descended from the other cricketing brother, Thomas Mycroft but I am trying to see if this is true or just family conjecture!

Derbyshire Lookup Requests / George Stephen Mycroft
« on: Wednesday 16 June 10 17:05 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for the parents of a George Stephen Mycroft born in 1907 (I think)  who was born in Derbyshire and I know married in Shardlow to Edna. I have very scant information to go on and I am trying to trace my lost immediate family (which without any data or official records is very hard).

Thank you if you can help me out with this, as I am overseas it is hard to research things!

I am very interested in any information about the Mycroft family especially around the time of the second world war or possibly a link with a Harriet Mycroft from what might be   the early 1900s.

If anyone has any information and whether they are related to the cricketers, that would be wonderful!
