Ruth I wanted to post the following message on derbysgen, but a previous message from me has not appeared. Would it be possible, please, for you to forward it to the list? I missed the previous posts on this subject, but I'm very interested to see a mention of my 4GGU, John MOORCROFT, who was living at Gravenhurst in 1841, with his son, John, d-i-l, Martha [WOOD] and grandson, Joseph. Son John was the farmer. Next door, I notice, is my 3GGU, Thomas SALISBURY. I'm interested in any research concerning the MOORCROFT, SALISBURY and POUNTAIN families of Church Broughton. Kind regards Joy ________________________________ From: DERBYSGEN <[email protected]> on behalf of Ruth Genda <[email protected]> Sent: 13 November 2016 14:38 To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [DBY] Gravenhurst Jane, And then there is an advertisement in the Derby Mercury of 13 December 1792 which explains that Gravenhurst is the name of a house and small-holding known as Gravenhurst 'situate in Church Broughton' and in the occupation of John Moorcroft who 'will shew the premises.' So it is a house with 9 acres of land and not a place. If this house is still in existence it's likely that it will have changed its name and maybe more than once.
