Hello, I wonder if anybody can help me?
I am researching my father-in-laws family tree and have discovered that his mother and father were both friends and work colleagues of a Abraham Bancroft, 1913-1978, born in Wolstanton, died in Butt Lane, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.
So far we know that Abraham Bancroft worked in the pottery industry in Middleport/Burslem during the 1930's/40's and may have gone on to have his own pottery manufacturing business. We also believe that he created a ceramic bust of Reginald Mitchell CBE AMICE FRAS (see attached) in the 1950's which was on display in Stoke-on-Trent Museum, but this is to be confirmed. He was married twice once in 1944 and again in 1950 and has 4 children from the two marriages.
If anyone has any information on him they'd like to share especially a picture or two so that we can put a name to a face then we'd be very grateful.
Thank you
G
