I am researching the Oscroft family tree. The family resided in Sheffield from the 1830's when my Great grandfather, Denis, moved there from Holmsfield or Barlow in Derbyshire until WW2. He was born about 1820.
He had 8 suviving children and 2 marriages.
He was first married to Harriot ? they had 3 children. Hannah, Thomas, and Dennis.
Some time in the mid 1850's he re married Hannah? they had 5 children. Frederic (my grandfather), Emily (Ema), Amelia, Benjamin (Benji),and Aida.
Most of the children had 4/5 children of which I have some details. Some are known to have emigrated to Australia or South Africa.
From all the records I've managed to trace so far any Oscroft from Sheffield of this period will be related to this family group.
Can anyone fillin some of the gaps in the more recent history of the family. My father always claimed he had 38 cousins, I never met one of them.
