Hi Liz,

I am the Grandson of a Toft from Youlgreave in Derbyshire and I have been researching the Toft Family originating from Youlgreave for some time. Youlgreave appears to be a major source of the Toft Family and I have linked them to a number of other areas around the UK. Unfortunately, as you didn't identify a DOB for Bill in your question, I can't really check my tree to see if I have a possible match for Bill in it. Grateful if you would identify a DOB, actual or approximate so I can see what I can find.
Regards
Paul Spencer
