Hi Fred,

Mark Wheatcroft baptised 26 July 1769 at Chesterfield, father - Obadiah.

Rebecca Wheatcroft baptised 15 March 1771 at Chesterfield, father - Obadiah.
No marriage found.
There is also another burial for a Rebecca in 1831 at Chesterfield, aged 60 years
which would give a birth date of 1771.

Luke Wheatcroft baptised 26 March 1773 at Chesterfield, father - Obadiah.
Marriage 9 December 1794 at Sheffield Parish Church.
Luke Wheatcroft to Mary Gill. Witnesses: Jos. Worth? and Isaac Almond.
Burial: Luke Wheatcroft aged 64yrs at St. Mary, Sheffield. NBI.
1831 census, Nether Hallam, Luke Wheatcroft, cutler, Upper Heeley.
Males 6, Females 3, 5 males over 20.
If you look at the Apprentices and Freemen in the left hand column on this site,
you will find the apprenticeship for Luke. He is the son of Obadiah of Brampton,
Schoolmstr and his master is Jonathan Gill of Heeley.
Presumable Luke married the daughter of Jonathan Gill.

Hi Moira,
Sorry for the long delay getting back to you, I have been taking advantage of this glorious weather we are having at this moment catching up on my garden. I had found all the information regarding the three children but I was not sure if they were all the children of Obadiah & Mary Wheatcroft. I have also found the marriage of Luke's wife Mary Gill parents Jonathan Gill and his wife Mary Shippard or Kippax Or shippax all these three names appear on the marriage of Jonathan Gill 29 - 11 - 1767 Almondbury All hallows Yorkshire.
once again thank you very much for your very kind reply.
My very best wishes.
Fred Wheatcroft.
