Hi Marlowmags
Welcome to Rootschat, nice to meet another Ravenscroft  I am a 'married in' Ravenscroft, its my hubbies family tree I am trying to trace and with lots of help from fellow rootschatters I have made lots of headway and found lots of ancestors.
It looks like you and my husband are distantly related - Thomas Ravenscroft & Catherine Hewitt were my husbands ggg grandparents, I also have their children you listed but have another son Thomas b 1820, do you have any trace of him? My hubbie is descended from John b 1815. I have the same date of marriage for Thomas and Catherine at Nantwich but did not have the name of the church (unless its buried in my pile of notes!)
I have been given some info about George's line but it only mentioned Charles and his 2nd wife Joanna Knight, had no idea about his 1st wife Ann Royle so thats very interesting. Unfortunately as not aware of the 1st marriage I don't think I have info about Charles & Ann's children but I'll check my notes just in case and let you know.
I can give you more info about John's line if you are interested, depends how many branches/leaves you want on your tree. I'm terrible as my tree is getting as wide as it is long as I'm adding everyone. Let me know. You have lots of dates etc, hope you don't mind me asking but are they verified? Some of mine are and it would be nice to tick some of the unverified ones off the list.
Better go as its getting late and I have work tomorrow. Nice to hear from you Marlowmags and look forward to chatting with you again.
Crystal

Hi Marlowmags, nice to hear from you again.
Have been double checking names and dates and would say its a definate link although a bit distant. Nice to have some info on the other lines and like the personal info you gave. I'm trying to gather as much personal info as well as names/dates so that I can make my tree more personal.
I'm afraid I don't have any info on the children from Charles 1st marriage but you may come across another contact who does. I have only been researcing both my own and OH family trees for just over 12 months, how long have you been doing yours? the furthest I have gone back is Thomas's parents.
Have a look on the cheshire look up board - I started a thread asking for a lookup at the Records Office for OH grandad's baptism, it was answered by Jayson who has found loads out for me, have a look at it as there might be something of interest to you on there.
Babysitting grandchildren tonight so I've go tot go, speak to you soon.
Crystal.

Hi Marlowmags
Sorry for not replying sooner but got caught with my side of the family tree (sometimes I could do with a few more hours in the day ).
I've caught up with your thread on Frances, looks like you may be getting somewhere, good luck with that.
Wow, 10 years - I have a mound of paper work after only 12 months, can't imagine how much you've acquired. Bet you have come across some interesting things over the years. Yes I am on Genes Reunited - I'll send you a pm about it.
Crystal

Hi
I too have a couple of Ravenscrofts from the Winsford/Over/Northwich area of Cheshire.
One of whom is a mystery to me, she is listed age 3 as a "nurse child" born Leftwich on the 1871 living with Charles and Elizabeth Maddock and their family and as adopted daughter of my Charles and Elizabeth Maddock on the 1881 census. I'd love to know why she ended up with the Maddocks and whose child she originally was.
The second is Elizabeth Ravenscroft c 1793 - 1869 born Bostock, Davenham, Cheshire wife of John Percival c 1791.
regards
Siouxzie

Hi all,
Sorry to restart an old post but I have jus started researching my family history and have traced some Ravenscrofts of Over and nearby back to about 1750. I'm using the "who do you think you are?" Family Tree software to log it all and my tree "linked into" another that already went all the way back to... (excuse me as I am currently at work and trying to remember correctly...) Ralph Ravenscroft, B. 1598. I have one link that I want to double check but most of it seems to corralate - If people dont have this info already and think they may be linked, would like to double check any of it, or want more information out of general interest, then I'll do my best to provide it all.
Also, JDGEN - I am a Davenport but have Ravenscrofts that carried the Wood name to my grandmother, Amy Wood Ravenscroft (nee Davenport). I cant remember for certain but the name Martha Wood does ring a bell. I will check tonight and see if it is the same link as yours.
Regards,
M Davenport

Hi again,
For JDGEN - I have checked my information and was wrong. My ancestor Thomas William RAVENSCROFT B. 27 July, 1865 in Winsford/Over married Sarah Ann WOOD B. 1868 Hassall Green, Sandach, not Martha Wood.
I'm not sure if Sarah is in your tree - I've been concentrating on other lines so have only got back to Sarah's grandfather so far.

Hi M Davenport,
I haven't got a Sarah WOOD in my tree who matches, sorry.
My DAVENPORT family is from the Bolton area originally, and then to the Mottram in Longdendale area of Cheshire.
But now we are hijacking the RAVENSCROFT thread!!

JDGen,
No worries - it just seemed too much of a coincidence but then I guess the was an awful lot of people, even back then.
I'm going to slink off back to the Davenports for now
M Davenport.

Hi NN,
Don't knpw how far you've gone back from Jane Ravenscroft 1816 her parents were Stephen Ravenscroft 1790 born Bostock and Mary Wild 1787 Over.
Stephen's parents were Peter Ravenscroft 1755 Davenham and Mary Forster 1757 Shipbrook.
Peter's parents were John Ravenscroft 1719 Davenham and Elizabeth Mounfield.
This particular line of the Ravenscrofts goes back to Radulph Rainscroft whose son also Radulph was baptised at Davenport on 16/02/1622.
Stephen
