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'.
