I am familiar with Robert Rycroft who came to Hawaii and married a Campbell girl, could he be your relative?

Hello
David McNish Rycroft was my Gran's brother. She was Mary Rycroft born 1880 died 1968. I remember Uncle Dave and his wife Bertha visiting England in 1953. We had a large family reunion of the Rycroft family and I have inherited the photos.

I am trying to trace my father's extended family. I believe he is a nephew of David McNish Rycroft. My father was George Frederick Rycroft. I have met Stanley and David when I was younger. My grandfather, grandmother and Aunt Francis came from England sometime before 1910.

Hi Carolyn,

Apparently we are related. I am decended from Thomas Richard Rycroft b 1807. I would love to talk to you about any Rycroft family information you have. I have posted my family information on Ancestry.com only recently, if you are interested.

Re: Looking for any information on my relatives

English_Canadian — 2008-09-18 19:26:36Z

I believe my family to have come from somewhere in or near Yorkshire, before they immigrated to Canada. Would either of you have information on a Thomas Rycroft, who would have been born circa 1835-1840. He married Mary Midgley, perhaps while still in England. They were my great-great grandparents. I have information on their descendants if anyone is interested.

Thanks,
Krystal Rycroft

Re: Joseph Rycroft, St. Thomas Ontario.

English_Canadian — 2008-08-31 16:50:35Z

Another Rycroft, wonderful!

Fascinating to know, especially since I believe Joseph's middle name is likely to have been William as well. It's a family name today too.

I don't have much hard evidence, but my suspicions have been that they were from somewhere in Yorkshire. I realise that's a large area, but I haven't been able to get anything before Joseph, except another suggestion that his father may have been named Thomas (another family name to this day). He may also have had a brother named Thomas, and a sister, but I can't find her given name.

I also don't know why they came to Canada, but I'd love to find some connection! One problem I've had is that there are very few Rycrofts left (around here) who are old enough to question.

If you have any further information, Mark, it'd be very much appreciated. I should get in contact with the Public Records Office at some point.

Thank you,
Krystal Rycroft

Re: william a rycroft

alandownes — 2007-04-24 22:11:46Z

In the 1880 US census the John Rycroft family is transcribed for the index as "Rycraft." William appears with his family as "W. Allen Rycraft." His age is entered as 30, implying a birth date of 1850. Obviously that does not match the birthdate shown in other entries for the same family. In 1880 the family is in the Village of Bay View (Milwaukee County) Wisconsin.

I just found a birth entry in Carleton County (Ottawa), Ontario for the above. It listed his father as Edward Rycroft, his mother as Emily Elizabeth Woodward. I have been looking for information on Emily and wanted to know what happened to her. My sister met someone named Rycroft at church one day a few years ago in Ottawa who said they were related to us through the Rycroft/Woodward line. Anyone on this board know these people?

I am trying to trace the family of David McNish Rycroft, my great uncle, who was born in Liverpool about 1886 and married Bertha Ford. They emigrated to Canada about 1910 and I believe they were living in the Toronto area in the 1950's. I would be grateful for any information about his family.

Looking for my great gradfather Joseph Rycroft b. 1859. He married Annie Stewart in 1889. They had seven children: Leigh Stanley, Ernest (who fought in WWI), Ivan, Pearl, Vera, Beatrice, and my grandfather, Glen, b. 1911.

They lived in the St. Thomas area, until they moved to Brant County circa 1913. I am 80% sure he was born in Canada, but I have been unable to get back any farther than his birth.

Any information would be much appreciated.

2003-08-11 03:43:24Z

Many thanks for the quick reply Richard. The census did state that Margaret came from Eng. in 1881, but I'm not even certain that she was married to her husband ____ RYCROFT at that time.

Re: Margaret RYCROFT, Eng>America 1881

2003-08-11 02:20:41Z

None of those names sound familiar. My family name is Irish and lived in Newton, MA at the turn of the century. There was an English Rycroft family who also moved into Newton at that time. They had been living in the Worcester area. That family was trained in millwork. They had arrived here because an Englishman had bought a water wheel activated mill in Worcester and only hired Englishmen whom he could trust.
I have not been to the state archives in over a year. I'm not sure when I will be able to get there again, in the near future.

Sorry I couldn't fill in any gap. Off hand, I'd say that these names are English, which should limit your search. There are no English Rycrofts in this area now.

Margaret RYCROFT, Eng>America 1881

2003-08-10 19:13:16Z

Hello Richard,
I've just begun researching my husband's line. I have very little info. as of yet. I have discovered that his grandfather, James H. PETERS was m. to Anna, who was b. in Mass. abt.1897 to Margaret RYCROFT. Marg. arrived in 1881 according to the 1920 census, but I'm not sure of port of arrival.

Knowing people gave more thought to what they named their children back then, it might be helpful to know that James and Anna's three sons were named Herbert, Raymond and Robert. I'm guessing Anna's father may have had one of those first names. Do you have any information on these RYCROFTS?
