Marriage and Family
John Holcroft married Anne Standish. She was the daughter of Ralph Standish of Standish and Alice, daughter of Sir James Harrington of Wolfage. Anne's father, Ralph, was a fairly wealthy member of the landed gentry, with a considerable number of estates and churches across south and central Lancashire.[14] After his death in 1538, the estates passed through difficult times, with two successors dying in quick succession. Only under Anne's young nephew, Edward, did stability return, although he was continually criticised as a recusant. Anne's mother, Alice Harrington was from a Northamptonshire family of considerably higher social status: Sir James was knighted at the coronation of Henry VII[15]
John Holcroft and Anne Standish had a large number of children: at least 7 sons and 6 daughters.[1] They included the following.
Sir John Holcroft, the heir. He married Dorothy Bold and they left as heir a daughter:
Alice Holcroft, who married Edward Fitton of Gawsworth Old Hall in Cheshire. They had a number of children, including:
Mary Fitton, a notable courtesan.
Anne Fitton, who married the politician John Newdigate.
Richard, the heir.
Edward, who inherited the estates on the death of his brother and became first of the Fitton baronets.
After the death of the 2nd Baronet, also called Edward, in 1643, the Fitton estates became the subject of protracted legal dispute. The Holcroft estates were purchased soon after, apparently from trustees, by another branch of the Holcroft family.[3]
Hamlet Holcroft, a younger son of John Holcroft and Anne Standish, married Isabel Clifton. They had a son:
John Holcroft, who married Anne Heywood and had a son:
Lt. Col. John Holcroft, a prominent politician of the mid-17th century. He represented Liverpool and became a Roundhead commander. He was able to recover the Holcroft estates, probably by buying them from the Fitton trustees. He married Margaret Hunt and they had a daughter:
Maria Holcroft married Thomas Blood, who famously attempted to steal the Crown Jewels in 1671.
Anne Holcroft, daughter of John and Anne, married the Winmarleigh heir and ward William Radcliffe, who died in 1561.
