| Comments: | I purchased a photo of a Mrs. Carrie Bancroft in Richmond, VA, USA, on June 14th in an old book shop. The word "Dundee" is written under her name. She's 1860s or so,judging by the hoop skirt and hairdo. Anyone run across a married Caroline or Carrie Bancroft of Dundee? |

| Comments: | Hi Jarlath. I am related to the Bancroft family through my GGgrandmother Hannah C1837. She was the daughter of George Bancroft C1821 from Bradfield, Sheffield, Yorkshire. I have 2 sisters for George, Mary C1821 and Martha C1829. His mother was called Hannah C1786. I do not know his fathers name yet, still working on that one at the moment.
I like your web site - lots of info - keep up the work. Dave Ward. |

My father, John Ben, has signed this Dreambook as has my cousin Elizabeth Ann! Does anyone know anything about the origin of Bancroft being Gaelic? My mother (not a Bancroft but wanted me to know my heritage) conducted a fairly in-depth geneological study in 1999 and had stumbled across some information leading to that conclusion. |

| Comments: | I am descended from John Bancroft & Susannah Hartley from Haworth through their daughter Esther Bancroft born in 1815. She married Robert Whitaker in 1830 and their daughter Susannah, born 1831 in Far Oxenhope married Christopher Rawson in 1849. I have photos of them both & they are my gt. gt. grandparents. I was born in Thornton but now live in Durham. Thank you Jarlath for compiling all the very useful info about the Bancrofts. I was particularly interested to find that John & Susannah Bancroft are buried at Oxenhope Methodist Church. Hello to all my Bancroft relatives! |

| Comments: | I am a Bancroft from Cottingley near Bingley and have just started to collect information about my ancestors - not very much just yet. My grandparents were William and Lilian (nee Pickles)and they lived in the village where apparently there were quite a few Bancrofts. Your site is a great help and hopefully I will be able to find someone who was a relative - many thanks.

Current Bancrofts here are myself and brother David and his sons. I will enjoy searching!! John. |

I came upon your site browsing for my mother. My grandmother's maiden name was Harriet Elizabeth Lee Bancroft born in Brisbane, Queensland in 1901. Her Grandparents were immigrants from England but I don't know what part they came from. Some of her relatives were pioneering medical scientists in Queensland. |

| Comments: | We did meet up a couple of times Jarlath a few years ago at Oxenhope Village Hall. I'm still in Burnley, Lancashire but have done very little in further research into my late fathers side of the family. He stemmed from the Cullingworth line of the family.
Keep up the enthusiasm and good work ......... great site ! Hope to meet again soon. Does Dorinda Kinghorn still do the local history evenings ? |

| Comments: | Great site..Pete Bancroft(comments in March 2004) of Cumbria would appear to be one of my lost cousins. His grandfather Jesse (spelt Jessie in Wiltshire) was I think my mother' brother and left Bradford on Avon to move to Cumbria-I would suspect to obtain work. He was one of 14 children who all lived to adult hood.There are still Bancrofts in Bradford on Avon and nearby towns although strangely none in B on A from my grandparents line. I am contacting Pete because he may well be entitled to a small sum of money from the estate of a first cousin of his father-with so many relatives eligible for a share not enough to travel to beautiful Bradford on Avon to see the home of his ancestors but enough perhaps for a good meal.My earliest Bancroft is 1695 in South Wraxall near B on A who might just be a relative. This was a cloth manufacturing town and I possess a shuttle embosed with the makers name and yes it was Bancroft and I suspect made in Yorkshire. Connection? |

| Comments: | Direct descent from Thomas that came over to America in 1639.
Born in Reading,Massachusetts, as were 9 previous Bancroft generations in my line. Many are buried in Reading Laurel Hill Cem. Born on Bancroft Avenue, in fact. The story I heard was that our 1/2 acre was the remains of large holdings which were split up and many sold for taxes (really smart business handling!). Raised on a Maine Farm, twice a professor, MENSA, Regular Army, etc. |

| Comments: | Hello My grandfather was Clifford Regan Bancroft from Michigan. My distant cousin has done extensive research on our family roots and would be a good person to contact. Unfortunately I only have the city/state where he lives so, you'd have to look him up. My mother is another good source for more recent information such as who my grandfather's brothers and sisters were, etc. Let me know what you find. I'm very interested in it myself. Take care.
