There is a district of either Blackpool  or Thornton-Cleveleys  named Norcross,   some connection with that area perhaps?

To Radcliff

That is amazing that you know there are 190 entries....soooo clever

I have traced my tree as follows,

William Norcrosse 1602 married Janne Bancke 25/07/1627

John Norcrosse 16/12/1627

Richard Norcross 02/07/1682 married Ellen Holsall 09/04/1705

John Norcross 19/06/1706.

Can you shed any more light on the information I already have?

Also I understand there is a vicar Henry Norcross around 1600, any idea if we are connected?


I acnnot tell you how much your help would be really really appreciated.

Hi Happy Hunting,


Not sure if this is any help but I have a Thomas  Norcross born abt 1851 in Ribchester Preston. In 1875 Thomas married Alice Elizabeth Kenyon. After Thomas died in 1900, the remaining family moved to New Zealand.

I dont think this is the one you are looking for,

The Reverand William Norcrosse of Rivington was buried at Rivington parish church
7th of December 1764


in 1740 the curate of Colne, William Norcross seems to have been accused/charged  of Adultary,might make intersting reading,it is open to view at Lancashire archives,
