Mary married Richard CHAPLIN in the fourth quarter of 1876 (GRO ref: Bridlington 9d 703), who was born in the third quarter of 1846 (GRO ref: Driffield 23 44). The 1881 census records that Richard and Mary had two young children of their own. However, four of Mary Elizabeth CROMPTON's near relatives were also living in the cottage.

• Richard CHAPLIN has taken Emily CROMPTON as his step–daughter. Emily was Mary's illegitimate daughter, born in 1873 to an unnamed father. She would later take the name CHAPLIN.
• Joseph CROMPTON was Mary's youngest brother.
• William CROMPTON was her bachelor brother. It is believed that William, recorded under the generic term as 'imbecile' was also lame', died without issue. With Nafferton church recording the burial of their father William (born 1808) in August 1872 and Sarah, their mother, being over seventy and possibly deaf, Mary may have been the surviving daughter responsible for her brother William (born 1846).

1808info4a, sheet 2

• The seven month old Walter CLUBLEY, born in Carnaby, appears to be a permanent boarder. He has a surname with many associations to the Cromptons. Walter's surname is the same as Joseph CROMPTON's future bride and was born in the same village. Richardson CROMPTON (born 1815) married Hannah CLUBLEY in 1845. In the fourth quarter of 1880 Walter Hart CLUBLEY's birth was registered (GRO ref: Bridlington 9d 321). He died at the age of 2 (GRO ref: Bridlington 9d 227). The exact relationship or coincidence has not been established.

In 1891 Richard, whilst remaining an agricultural labourer, and his family had moved to Bridlington. By that time Laura Kate had arrived and Mary was responsible for Gertrude, the illegitimate daughter of her sister Martha.  Joseph R, aged 13, is neither a 'scholar', nor 'employed'.

Emily CROMPTON

Mary's 'illegitimate' daughter, Emily has her own page.

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 Robinsons, one enumerator building from Manor Farm.

It is speculated that William ROBINSON, although a 'worker', had a responsible and well paid status of farm manager and that, although 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, again lived with her parents at Rose Cottage, Bridlington.
