It may be of interest to you - in the parish records for Crich and surrounding areas there are no "Wheatcross" names - there are these spellings  for Wheatcroft
Wheatcroft
Wheatcrofte
Wheatcrofts
Whetcroft

do you want dates of other children's baptisms?? e.g. I think Samuel's was 1840

thanks

what site did you find the Crich parish records, for the baptisms. Been searching and they aren't showing up anywhere. Mary Ann's baptism was rather late as she is born abt 1828....... have found and documented Samuel and Elizabeth as siblings but not Eliza and Marie. I have Samuel app DOB as 1842.

Many thanks

the four girls were baptised same day and only Maria's date of birth is shown 23 Jul 1833

Samuel was baptised 9 Aug 1840

on 1841 census he is 10mths old

1841 has Mary 11, Elizabeth 9, Maria 7 and Samuel 10months

1851 has Mary Ann 20, Elizabeth 18, Maria15 and Samuel 9

I wonder if Eliza (who was baptised with her sisters in 1837) died young

There is a burial Crich 11 Feb 1839 of Eliza Wheatcroft - unfortunately no age is given

I found the same death entry so wondered the same as she doesn't appear on a census, so will have to look into that further. The burial was on hte 11th of Feb 1839 age 2, so she would have only just been born when the girls where all baptised so wonder if Eliza's birth prompted the baptism.

I also found a burial record for a Elizabeth Wheatcroft on the 9th of April 1852 age 20, which Elizabeth would have been so need to check thru the census etc to see if I can follow her to see if this could be her or not.....

Its all very exciting as I had this brickwall for some time and had moved onto another tree but got brought back to this tree as I found 2 living cousins.........

Thank you so much for your help its really appreciated, cant beleive that I am now 2 possibly 3 generations further back than my initial brickwall
