Year 1807 Info 2d for James Crompton |
Agnes Louisa LUND née CROMPTON was my grandfather's sister and my father Geoffrey CROMPTON's aunt, hence she was always known as Aunt Aggie. My family knew that she had emigrated to Sydney Australia, with her husband George William LUND and her two sons, William and Fred or Freddie as my family knew him. It was known that her granddaughter Doreen had married Roy SCRIVENER and that they lived in Macquarie Street in Sydney was common knowledge. Aunt Aggie's eldest child, Annie, was known of but it was believed that she had stayed in the UK. Aggie's Macquarie Street was in Chatswood and is not to be confused with Macquarie Street, Sydney where the NSW parliament and other historical buildings were located. Both streets would have been named after Governor Lachlan Macquarie the governor of NSW in the early part of the 19th century. Macquarie was a great builder both in Sydney and around Parramatta, which is now the demographic centre of greater Sydney.
In 1976, perhaps on their last visit to the UK, my parents and I met Doreen and Roy. It was believed that Roy was employed by Brinton's Carpets of Kidderminster, in their Sydney office.
Their early life
Agnes Louisa CROMPTON was born in the second quarter of 1871 in Preston East Yorkshire (GRO ref: Sculcoates 9d 132) and George William LUND was born in the fourth quarter of 1866 in Market Weighton (GRO ref: Pocklington 9d 67).
| Agnes Louise CROMPTON married George William LUND in the second
quarter of 1893 (GRO ref: Sculcoates 9d 248), Sculcoates being a district of
Hull, with her wedding likely to be at the parish church of Preston, where the family
lived. The 1891 census shows Agnes to be a domestic servant in Sutton East Yorkshire.

Quite why Agnes met George is unknown. Sutton is 20km from Market Weighton. However, Market Weighton is 7km from the home of John Harper CROMPTON a builder of Holme-on-Spalding Moor, later of Hyde, Manchester, who was Agnes' uncle. He may have been employed by the KNEESHAWs, builders of Market Weighton. The KNEESHAWs were the family of John Harper's wife, Sarah Jane. Denton is 1.5 miles (2.6km) from Hyde.
Their children
The FamilySearch of the Latter Day Saints and Ancestry contain the parish baptism registers for Christ Church, Denton, Manchester. These record the christening of three children of George William and Agnes Louisa LUND. In every record George William is recorded as a bricklayer and it is possible he was employed building rows of terraced houses for the industrial worker. The Ashton-under-Lyne registration district contains both Denton and Audenshaw - see 1901 census. 1
Annie

Annie was born in the third quarter of 1894 (GRO ref: Ashton 8d 489) and was
christened on 14 October 1896 when the family were living at 78 Heaton Street, Denton.
She died in the third quarter of 1907 aged 13 (GRO ref: Ashton 6d 208). In 2022,
Heaton Street and surrounding area is a light industrial area of modern buildings and a
converted cotton mill.

The map above shows where the family lived between 1894 and the 1901 census. Though they moved house the locations were were in a 1.5km radius. By the time of the 1911 census the family had moved 60 miles (90km) to Washwood Heath to the north-east of Birmingham. This shows that the family were not fixed to one location and that a home in a Waverley is a possibility. There is a Waverley Road in Small Heath, Birmingham.

The mysterious Frank JACKSON
The status of Frank JACKSON is still not clear. He was born in the second quarter of 1884 (GRO ref: Pocklington 9d 83 which includes Market Weighton). His birth certificate clarifies that Hannah JACKSON was a LUND before her marriage living in Middleton-in-Tessdale, County Durham. His baptism record shows he was baptised on 13 September 1884 in Market Weighton, with William and Hannah JACKSON as parents.

In the 1901 census Hannah was a widow with only one daughter, Sarah born 1862, living at home. Hannah was living at Rift House, Queen Street in Middleton-on-Teesdale where six boarders all over the age of 25 lived. Hannah died in the fourth quarter of 1921 aged 75. (GRO ref: Bridlington 9d 408).
In 1901, Frank JACKSON was living with George and Agnes LUND (Agnes née CROMPTON) in Cheshire. It is possible that the family had moved to the Cheshire area where worker's houses were being built to accommodate the growing numbers of mill workers. This census incorrectly identifies Frank as a brother-in-law to the head of the house. As a brother-in-law he would be related to George's wife who was Agnes CROMPTON. If Frank's mother, Hannah JACKSON, was formally a LUND then it is possible that Hannah LUND was the sister of Agnes LUND, though there is a wide difference in their ages and Hannah appears to have left home to work as a domestic servant. Perhaps the census enumerator lacked a category for the formal relationship. There does not appear any way of establishing this relationship.

In 1911, Frank is recorded as brother to George LUND making him a LUND. However, in the 1881 census the fourteen year old George LUND is the only grandson living with his 74 year old grandparents and it seems unlikely that he had a brother Frank LUND born in 1885.

| Frank JACKSON' emigration and immigration to Australia is unclear.
The inscription in Frank's bible suggests that it was given to him when he went to war in 1915. It mentions his 'loving brother and sister'. Quite who the 'mother' and 'sister' is, is unknown. However, it is likely to be an Australian relative. An unknown JACKSON? Or Agnes and an unknown Lund sister. Right: Inside Frank Jackson's bible Source: Glenys Hubbard |

On his World War One attestation papers of 5 December 1915, he gives his address as Gordon Road, Chatswood, NSW, now part of the Pacific Highway. Aged 31 years and six months, being born circa 1884, he declares he was born in Market Weighton, East Yorkshire, which supports the census. His next of kin was his mother who lived in Northgate, Market Weighton. He is still a bricklayer by trade.
| On his enlistment to 'A' Coy, of the 12th Reinforcements of the 20th
Battalion, 5th Brigade, 2nd Division, at Casula Camp, Sydney, Frank was 5 foot six
inches (168cm), with a chest of 34½ inches (88cm) expanding by 3 inches (8cm). His
complexion was dark having tanned-up (still a current family trait), with dark eyes
and dark brown hair.
He proceeded overseas on 09 September 1916 on HMAT A40 Ceramic, being taken on the units strength on 19 October 1916 at Steenvoorde, Belgium, where the Battalion was in Corps Reserve throughout October. The War Diary does not mention his arrival or that of the 12th Reinforcements. Right: 20 Battalion patch |
 |
Frank Jackson attestation papers show that he spent a considerable time in various aid posts and hospitals. The 20 Battalions activities from the unit War Diaries, to locate Frank in the context of time, are inserted in italics.
11/4/17 First Battle of Bullecourt was essentially an action involving the 4th Brigade, in which there were 2258 casualties, and 12th Brigade AIF with 909 casualties. Prior to the battle 20th Battalion were based at Mametz Camp (62DNE2 F4.d.5.c,d) where they were involved in training and relaxation, including bathing on the day of the battle. Afternoon orders to move off were canceled and were not restored until midnight 11/12 April 1917 when the Battalion prepared to march to Vaulx Vraucourt (57CNW2) where they went into Reserve. On 15/4/17 the War Diary places the Battalion on stand to. They were in contact with the enemy who had broken through the line and captured guns of 2nd AFA. ‘B’ Coy were sent to support ‘A’ Coy on the right and the enemy were driven back and the guns recaptured. Casualties were light with six killed and 14 OR sent to hospital. Again, Frank missed the action.
The 20th Battalion were not directly involved in the Battle of Broodseinde, which took place on 04 October 1917. Frank's medical record reports his 'blighty' gun shot wound on 10 October 1917 when the Battalion, who were in Support, took over badly battered and rain collapsed trenches, which were subjected, from time to time, to violent bombardments and casualties were continuous. The Battalion was relieved that night. In an action of 8 October, the Battalion in the support trenches were shelled heavily and casualties were numerous. At 5.40am an enemy barrage came down behind the jumping-off line and on the support line in preparation an attack that morning on a two-mile front. It is unclear which of these two dates was the date of the actual wound. Removing the wounded, by stretcher bearers to Zonnebeke, was a distance of 1000 yards through a quagmire stretched the endurance of the stretcher bearers.
It is not known whether GSW was a generic term for any wound as it would seem Frank may have been wounded by shell fragments. It seems strange that a wound described as 'slight' resulted in a n hospital ship to a UK hospital in Dartmouth.
Finally Frank was returned to Australia and discharged. It is possible to image the complications varicose veins caused to an infantry man.
Frank remains a real mystery. Some of this mystery is resolved by his death notice, which explains his relationship to the family. However, if Frank Jackson was a step brother he would have a surname of Crompton, if related to Agnes or Lund if related to George William LUND. The attached photograph records him as the step brother of George LUND.
| Right: Frank Jackson's death notice Source: Trove Sydney Morning Herald Saturday 2 November 1940, page 12 |  |
Hannah JACKSON née LUND- his mother
Frank's birth certificate records his mother as Hannah JACKSON née LUND.
There are three Hannah LUND registered between 1840 and 1860. Two were recorded in the York registration district and one in Driffield, which seems the most appropriate. This Hannah LUND was born in the third quarter of 1845 in the Driffield district, which includes Middleton 13km from Market Weighton. (GRO ref: Driffield 9d 32).
In the 1851 census Hannah's father is not listed. Perhaps, as a shepherd, he was out in the fields. Five children are recorded. Londesborough is 4km from Market Weighton.

Ten years later Hannah was a servant in the Market Weighton house of Edwin Hartley, a police superintendent. In 1871, she was still a servant/house keeper in Bielby, 9km from Market Weighton.
Hannah married William JACKSON in the second quarter of 1876 in the Hull registration district (GRO ref: Hull 9d 389). This is a huge area of the East Riding/Humberside but does not include Market Weighton. William JACKSON was born in Seaton Ross in the first quarter of 1853 (GRO ref: Hull 9d 155). The son of a shoemaker, he followed his father's trade.

He may have disembarked at Melbourne, the prior port of call. However, passengers for Brisbane are listed together. The second anomaly is that the mysterious Frank LUND is listed as a passenger.
