Hello List, I have the Day Book of Joseph Crofts 1783 to 1791, my Gt Aunts father in law (I think!). He did masonary work, furnace work, building and the odd funeral. He did work for a Daniel Gorten, Moses Round, Mr Thomas of Stokes & Co. Coseley, Benet (as spelt) and Co. Birmingham, Mr Marten at Princess End, Issac Smith. In 1791 he did James Whitehouse funeral £6. Os. 9d. Names of workers are too numerous to put down, but Samuel Malen/Maulin?, William Caddick, James Guest, John Whitehouse, Joseph Baker, Joseph Tompson, are just a few that appear regularly. In 1783 he was paying 2s. 0d & 1s. 6d. a day. His father John Cofts was born 1/7/1718 Thomas Crofts was born January 1778 Sarah Crofts was born February 3rd 1780 Thomas Crofts was born August 1778 ? Ester Crofts was born September 1785 John Crofts was born July 6th 1786. As listed in the book, but difficult to read and I have no idea how the above are connected to Joseph Crofts. Liz.
