I've alwayd known that my granpa's mum was a Wheatcroft...imagine my surprise when i vistrd Wheatcroft Wharf at Cromford and then lookrd the family up on Ancestry...My Great grandma was Nathaniel and German Wheatcroft's brother Samuel's grand daughter....
theres another page about them
I found lots of info about the flyboats, and how you could travel to almost anywhere from the Wharf in Cromford, it must have been the M1 of its day..
