I am looking for information on a Thomas Wheatcroft, who was born in Belper, possibly in 1817. I believe he was married to a Sarah Bridge from Romiley. I am looking for their children and also to confirm who his father and mother were.

Sorry for the trouble, but most of the free on-line info I can find starts around 1837 or for the census, with 1841. I'm loathe to start requesting birth certificates or marriage certificates from the government on a hunch.
