    3. Peter, Thank you for all the effort you are putting into the Crich website. A great help now that I do not get up to the Archives in person. I think I can give you something to add to your notes which will be of interest to others. Catharine Hannah BESTWICK baptised 15 April 1838, was dau of Samuel and Hannah (Frost) BESTWICK.     She had a son, pre marriage, William Isaac Bestwick bapt 9.3.1859,  who is later buried as William Isaac TAYLOR on 9.7.1895, aged 36.     I have found in the Notts FHS Index that Catherine Hannah BESTWICK married a Samuel TAYLOR on 21.7.1863 Nottingham St. Mary which shows they married a few years later.   Several families moved along the canal/railway between Bull Bridge and Radford - some because William WILSON had cotton spinning factories in both locations. My own Immanuel TAYLOR/Betty HENSTOCK ancestors came from S. Wingfield. Marriage 26 November 1811 at Crich. Their son, my paternal gt. grandfather, Emmanuel TAYLOR born 1874 married a Sarah Ann PARKER in 1866 at Alfreton. She was his second wife after first wife Emily DAWES died shortly after giving birth to her fourth child. Sarah Ann (who may have been a midwife or a nurse) came into to look after the family and was to marry him very quickly afterwards.    My grandmother, Elizabeth TAYLOR was born within the next year and they moved via Skegby to Nottingham with his job as Engine Winder at the Pithead. They lived near the Midland Station (Briar St) at first and then moved into Radford where they stayed, Elizabeth married Richard GARTON and raised their family there.    I now need to find how Samuel TAYLOR exactly is related to the Immanuel TAYLOR/Betty HENSTOCK ! I would be pleased to hear from any other Crich TAYLOR family researchers.     My other surnames from this area are:   GARTON, KEY/KAY, CUTTS/WHEATCROFT, BESTWICK, BUTLER, TURNER, STRUTT, BENNELL, STREET, HOLMES, SLACK, and others not immediately coming to mind. My main interest is in connection with the BUTLER/CUTTS families who were involved in the Lace Industry in Nottingham and widening that research, I am now looking at various families who came from the Crich/Cromford area into Nottingham, particularly framework knitters and lace makers and dyers, some of whom went abroad to France in the early 1800s.      There was a William TAYLOR from Basford who went to Calais, also a TOPHAM and a CARVER, and I believe they may be to the HASLAM family at Fritchley in 1841 census. I would be pleased to hear from anyone who has evidence that members of their own family went abroad with the lace industry (some came home, some went on to Australia, and many went to America. Mavis, born Nottingham, now in Somerset.
