According to Google the British Violin Making Association was only set up in 1995, so I'm not sure whether he would have been a member of some other sort of group, but you might find his name in trade directories from the time.

Hi all, My grt Grandfather ( William Henry Croft ) was a violin maker and master musical intrument repairer. He lived and died in Birmingham c1837---1909. Would he have belonged to some sort of 'fellowship' or a member of an organisation for such crafts ? Thanks Philip.
