Captain John CROMPTON (Jack) - Thomas and Mary Ellen's first child. Captain John CROMPTON has his own information sheet at 1805info3g
Marjory CROMPTON - Thomas and Mary Ellen's second child.
Marjory was born 08 May 1895 and died 23 June 1902, at the age of seven and was buried at Nafferton. There are two accounts of her death. Her father wrote in 1944 that 'in 1902 we lost our little Marjorie from ptomaine poisoning [food poisoning] to our great distress - a lovely child with a lovely disposition and 7 years old' after eating berries. The second reason suggests that her death may have been related to the insanitary water at Great Houndales.

Roger Parkin
- Catherine and Arthur's second son
In first quarter of 1958 Roger married Joyce m Ullyott (GRO ref: Buckrose 2a 49), born second quarter 1935 (GRO ref: Driffield 9d 523).
Roger Parkin returned to the family seat, married in the area and then lived in the old mill at Wansford, just south of Nafferton. He is a mind of information about the life of his grandfather Thomas, his farms and of farming in the Driffield area. He knows many of the farm owners, can recall acreages, the old farming methods and the hearsay of Thomas' family history.
He proudly continued Thomas' association with the Nafferton's Feofee Charity Trust. As one of nine members he was responsible for the cottages for aged people and for distributing modest funds to help individuals or groups living in the ecclesiastical parish of Nafferton with Wansford who are in any kind of need or hardship.
I have benefited from his hospitality and am indebted to his knowledge and generosity. In 1993 Roger attended the funeral of Ino TIBBITS' where he found a box of papers which, I believe, he bought at auction. This box contained the genealogical research of Ino's mother, Mary Agnes TIBBITS, into the Crompton family, which she started in 1912. I left our first meeting with this treasure to photocopy. It has been the indispensable foundation of much of my research.
