William Henry James Pycroft married Emma, daughter of William and Ann Dopson, Portsea., Hants, England, on 7 August 1853 at Alverstoke. What was Emma's mother's maiden name? Do these Pycrofts have descendants? Emma's name in some sources is mistakenly given as Dobson. Any information gratefully received.

Dear Sally,
There is probably a connection there. If you know Elizabeth's parentage, it may be useful. Good luck with your researches.

Hi Hilary,

Sorry, I can't help you with Emma, but I do know a little about a William Henry James Pycroft, born: abt 1831, probably in Gosport, England. He had 5 sisters and 3 brothers;
Elizabeth Jane b: 14 Feb 1827, Gosport, Hampshire
John William b: 28 June 1829,
Mary b: abt 1833, Gosport
Mary Jane b: 21 Oct 1837, Cowes, Isle of Wight
James (Henry) b: 3 June 1839
Margaret b: 2 Nov 1844
Eliza (Anne) b: abt 1847, Alverstoke, Hampshire
Henry b: abt 1850, Alverstoke.

Their father was John Pycroft who was a mariner/shipwright and who married (Mary) Jane MARSHALL on 24 Oct 1825, in Alverstoke.

My husband is related through James (Henry) Pycroft.

Hope this helps.

Hi Sally,

I have just posted a reply to Hilary re: the Pycrofts. You might like to take a look. My husband's family are Pycrofts and he has Elizabeth Jane b: 14 Feb 1827, in Gosport, bapt: 25 Feb 1827, Alverstoke on his family tree. She did indeed marry William Hobbs on 11 Feb 1844, in Alverstoke.

Elizabeth's father was John Pycroft and her mother was Jane Marshall.

My husband is related through Elizabeth's brother James (Henry). Your Elizabeth is sister to both James (Henry) and Hilary's William Henry James.

Hope this helps.
Keri.

Hilary,

Just a thought. Have you been in contact with Barry Pycroft yet? He knows a lot about the Pycroft family and I believe he knows quite a lot about William Pycroft's line as well. His website is www.pycroft.co.nz . Most of my information comes from him so I would recommend contacting him.

Keri.

Hi Sally,

Sorry I don't have any more info on William Hobbs, only the reference of his marriage to Elizabeth. You could try contacting Barry Pycroft as he has been researching the Pycroft family for many years, and so may know more. His website is www.pycroft.co.nz.

All the best.
Keri.
