Well William Mycroft certainly looks a bit worse for weather but thankyou for the posting as he is directly related to my daughter in law.

Any other snaps you come across would be most welcome.

Many thanks

Hi Verity
Glad you liked it
Yes will need an email address
Will PM you

Was William a miner ?  They often finished a shift and were actually black from head to toe, had no time to take a bath so washed their hands and faces and then played cricket !

From Census and Internet, Ironstone Miner, Inn-Keeeper, Professional Cricketer/Ground Staff and Umpire at Lords..........maybe he was just having a bad day.........

It doesn't explain why I like Cricket.........especially 20/20 but there is just no accounting for taste

Thanks for the reply

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!

Hello Haltest,

My son married a Mycroft descended from William Mycroft the cricketer/ miner. I have traced his tree back to William born 1783 who married Elizabeth Bennett but then I have hit a brick wall.

Can you tell me where Harriet fits in as I have not yet come across her.

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!

Hello,
I am Fred Mycroft, greatgrandson of William Mycroft Through his son Harry & his son Harry.
First time I have seen a pic of Thomas, my youngest son looks quite like him.
I am looking at the cricket photo and wondering if William might be misidentified, looking at the caption one would expect William to be on the end.
I however believe he is the second from the viewers right based on a photo obtained from an article on William and Derbyshire cricket in association to Sir Authur Conan Doyle. Refer to the following.
