The Haycraft Family

 

The line of the family that this site follows is shown below, resulting in three important lines, easily described as:
The Nottingham Haycrafts,
The Davis line
The Dibdin line.

Edith Haycraft is of particular interest as she moved to Saltburn and ran a School, the Towers. When her sister, Cecily, died tragically in a plane crash in 1933, she took in Joan Dibdin, acting as her guardian.
