Corrections to previous e-mail: Just like to correct an error in last month's e-mail. George Oscroft committed suicide in 1858.
There were at least 2 George Oscrofts in Sutton-in-Ashfield in the mid 19th century; one was a bag hosier and built Westfield House in Sutton. The other, my gt. gt. grandfather, was a painter, musician and poet. In a book on Sutton - "In Times Past" - there is some confusion about which George is which. It does say that the family of one of them, moved to Sutton from Arnold but it is not clear which one.
