1808 Info 3 William Crompton v.D11

1808 Info 3: William Crompton
The family of Mary, his daughter who married Richard Chaplin

Mary CROMPTON was born in the fourth quarter of 1851 (GRO ref: Beverley 23 13) and married Richard CHAPLIN (GRO ref: Bridlington 9d 703) who was born in the third quarter of 1846 (GRO ref: Driffield 23 44)

The 1881 census records a Joseph and William CROMPTON living in Carnaby, in the household of Richard CHAPLIN, where a Crompton also lived. It is assumed that William, Joseph and Mary are brother and sister and, as their ages correspond to the IGI christening records, they are all children of William b.1808.

Crompton William 36  3rdQt1882 Bridlington  9d  239

If Joseph and William CROMPTON were visiting and lodging within the same house as Emily CROMPTON there must have been a relationship between them and the head of the house or his wife.
Since Emily was Richard‘s step daughter and Mary‘s daughter it seems possible that she was born to Mary, in Nafferton, out of wedlock, and registered in her mother's name. Mary was, therefore, a Crompton before marrying Richard CHAPLIN and having his children.
Joseph and Mary, both born in Nafferton, were of comparative age and were likely to be brother and sister. Hence Joseph was visiting his sister and the handicapped William was living with his sister.
With Nafferton church recording the burial of their father William (1808) in August 1872 and Sarah, his wife, being over seventy and possibly dead, Mary may have been the surviving daughter responsible for her brother William (1846).
The eldest child of Richardson CROMPTON‘s (1815) brother, William‘s 1808), was christened Stephen Clubley. If this child was the cousin of Walter CLUBLEY then Mary CHAPLIN was a Crompton.
It is assumed that William, recorded as 'imbecile and lame', died without issue.

In 1891 Richard, whilst remaining an agricultural labourer, and his family had moved to Bridlington. Laura Kate had arrived. Joseph R, aged 13, is neither a 'scholar', nor 'employed'.

This census introduces the mysterious niece Gertrude, also born in Carnaby. This suggest that another Crompton family lived in Carnaby, perhaps one of Mary's brothers, possibly Joseph - the only known living brother.

By 1901 the family had gone their own way. Richard and Mary lived in a cottage which, from the Enumerator's walk by way of Well Lane and the Rectory, was near the junction with A165 on Bessingly Hill. Here the properties are detached houses with large front gardens. Those along the present day Easton Road are modern high density housing.

Joseph Richard CHAPLIN - Mary and Richard's first child

Their son Joseph was born in the third quarter of 1877 (GRO ref Driffield 9d 319).

Joseph moved to Thornholme, one village from Carnaby nearer to Driffield, to live with the Robinson, one enumerator building from Manor Farm.

It is speculated that William ROBINSON, although a 'worker', had a responsible and well paid status of farm manger and that, all though his family had one female domestic servant, the remaining servants were employed by Manor Farm.

Joseph CHAPLIN appears last on the residential list, though not the youngest. This suggests that his employment, as agricultural labourer, was more menial than the younger 'horsemen'.

Sarah was a boarder in the third house on the enumerators walk from Percy Road. The white door is the first house in New Street, with Percy Road to the right. This suggests that Sarah lived in a house on the site of the present factory, which can also be seen in the photograph above.

Burnby Lane is to the left. The houses on this side of the road are Edwardian/post World War 1.

In 2010 Janet Parsons, nee CROMPTON (See James CROMPTON, born 1807), lived in Burnby Lane.

Right: New Street, Pocklington in 2010

The 1911 census shows that Sarah, still a teacher, had returned to live with her parents at Rose Cottage, Bridlington. Sarah died in the first quarter of 1957 (GRO ref: Buckrose 2a 14).

Laura Kate CHAPLIN - Mary and Richard's third child

Laura Kate was born in the third quarter of 1882 (GRO ref: Bridlington 9d 340). In the first quarter of 1914 she married Edgar W BURTON (GRO ref: Bridlington 9d 549). It is possible that Laura Kate died in the fourth quarter of 1947 (GRO ref: Winchester 6b 595)
