My mother's maiden name is Rosemary Crotch (1926), daughter of Percy Crotch (1890s), granddaughter of Walter Crotch (1860s) all of Norwich, Norfolk.
There is clearly a family link to the same Flemish family who were freemen of Norwich in the 15th and 16th centuries, as carpenters, cabinet-makers and plasterers. Both Walter and Percy Crotch were plasterers (family firm founded 1820, in Dr Crotch's lifetime) so there is solid consistency in the genes - although not musically, unfortunately.
I believe William Crotch's father was a carpenter or cabinet-maker.
But since William Crotch spent all of his adult life outside Norfolk we are clearly not his direct descendants. My mother and I have a few of Dr William Crotch's drawings and watercolours, none very good and one very early, of King's College chapel, Cambridge.
