1808 Info 5 for William Crompton |
It is interesting to note that in the 1881 census Joseph CROMPTON was a visitor at his sister Mary's home in Carnaby, perhaps looking for work as an itinerant shepherd on the Wolds.

In the fourth quarter of 1881, Joseph married Elizabeth CLUBLEY (GRO ref: Bridlington 9d 623), born in the fourth quarter of 1852 (GRO ref: Bridlington 9d 227). Elizabeth' s family name has associations with the Cromptons. In 1881 she lived in a Carnaby farm house as a general servant to the house keeper/head to a 256 acre absent landlord farmer.

In the 1881 Chaplin census, Walter CLUBLEY, aged seven months, was a boarder and Joseph CROMPTON a lodger. Walter Hart CLUBLEY was born in the fourth quarter of 1880 (GRO ref: Bridlington 9d 321) and died in the fourth quarter of 1882 (GRO ref: Bridlington 9d 227) . The exact relationship or coincidence has not been established. However, Mary CHAPLIN may have been looking after the natural son of Elizabeth CLUBLEY and Joseph CROMPTON. But, Walter's second name may indicate the surname of his natural father.
The couple started their own family. Joseph was still employed as a shepherd, but it should be noted that in the six year spread of his children's births he has lived in at least four villages.

Although the census enumerator recorded the people as living in Eastgate Lane the 1911 map shows only the name East Gate. However, the village has several other streets named as Lane. In fact, Eastgate is a dead end and leads into a footpath, or lane. In 1901 the progress of the enumerator was:
This suggests, depending on the enumerator's route, that Joseph Crompton lived in the row of cottages marked red.

| The postcard gives a good picture of the where Joseph CROMPTON lived at
the time of the 1901 census. It is possible that the shop was located in the row of
cottages on the left under the final chimney stack. It is thererfore possible that Joseph
lived in the cottages on the opposite side of the road.
It is believed that these cottages have been replaced by modern bungalows. Right: Eastgate, Rudston in 2010 from the bridge |

Joseph CROMPTON remarries
In the fourth quarter of 1901 Joseph married Annie JENNISON (GRO ref: Bridlington 9d 713) who may have been born in the third quarter of 1856 (GRO ref: Driffield 9d 240).

Joseph and Elizabeth CROMPTON's children
Joseph and Elizabeth's children reside mainly in Hull with the men adapting their work on farms as waggoner to become rullymen. In the East Riding dialect of my youth, a rullyman is a carrier with horse and cart.

In the third quarter of 1915 their daughter Phyllis was born (GRO ref: Sculcoates 9d 487). She died aged 1 in the first quarter of 1917 (GRO ref: Sculcoates 9d 348).
On 10 December 1915 89774 David GASH, a 29 year old maltster of 4 Grimston Terrace, Clifton Street, Hull enlisted in the Royal Garrison Artillery. He names Henrietta CRUMPTON, of the same address as his prospective wife and Stanley CRUMPTON, born in Rudston in 1905, and Phyllis as his children. At some point, in early 1917, David transfers to the Labour Corps as 484677. His service record lists Henrietta Gash as his widow and Stanley CROMPTON as his only child. His pension record card lists Henrietta as his widow and Stanley his dependant child. They received £6 grant, paid 21 December 1918, and a pension of 20/5, which was awarded on 26 May 1919 and paid from 09 June 1916. There is no record of a cause of death.

The 1901 census records George being born at Kilham. A George CROMPTON was born on 13 July 1892 (GRO ref: Driffield 9d 359 - Kilham is part of Driffield) This suggests that both George and Richard twins. The death of a George CROMPTON, aged 18, is recorded in the first quarter of 1911 (GRO ref: Bridlington 9d 234).There is no obvious record of George in the 1911 census or the 1939 Register.

| Broadgate Hospital
In the 1860’s a site near Walkington was chosen by the East Riding of Yorkshire committee for a new asylum. The area purchased formed part of Broadgate farm, a convenient distance from the Beverley and not centred on York. Hull had resisted advances by the East Riding for a combined asylum. The new East Riding asylum, designed by Charles Henry Howell, opened in 1871. The north elevation at Broadgate comprised of the service areas including laundry, stores, and maintenance yards, segregated from the main entrance and administration block. The administrative block was spread over three storeys, with a goods archway to the steward’s stores behind, and a projecting block to one side to accommodate the residence of the superintendent. The chapel was located at the eastern end of the structure. The accommodation wings to the rear were constructed in a similar but plainer fashion to the administration block, and over only two storeys with a central officer’s block. To the south west was located the gasworks which was constructed to provide for the complex, whereas the southeast of the grounds accommodated an isolation ward for infectious diseases. Surrounding farmland was used to provide food for the asylum as well as occupation for male inmates. Extensions took place from 1880’s with the addition of three storey ward blocks to either side of the original and a new recreation hall was added to the centre of the south elevation. A new home for the superintendent, West End House, was provided to the west of the main building creating more space in the main complex. Following the war, the advent of the National Health Service brought all the County and Borough Asylums into state ownership. Broadgate was brought under the control of the East Riding Hospitals management committee and renamed Broadgate Hospital. Broadgate Hospital closed in April 1989.
