Edmond CROMPTON's first marriage
He has yet to be found in 1881 census but may, by that time, have followed his trade by moving to South Shields in County Durham. In late 1883 he married Dorothy Jane HUNTER in the fourth quarter of 1883 (GRO ref: South Shields 10a 1123), who was born in the first quarter of 1864 (GRO ref: South Shields 10a 560). However, she died in the first quarter of 1891 aged 27 (GRO ref: South Shields 10a 426), possibly in child birth. The 1891 census shows Edmund to be a widower with a three month son Edmund R[ichardson] and two of his late wife's family living with him.

Edmond CROMPTON's second marriage
Edmund married, for the second time, Ellen GAULTER in the second quarter of 1894. (GRO ref: Fylde 8e 1071), who was born in the first quarter of 1870 (GRO ref: Garstang 8e 649) which contains the village of Stalmine.
The 1901 census shows that Edmund was an established shipwright on the west coast with a wife and family. The locations of the birth of his children shows his migration around the Fleetwood area.

GRO records Edmund as being born in the first three months of 1858 making him, in 1901, 43 years old. Whilst he gives the correct age in the 1871 census his 39 years, on the 1901 census, makes this Edmund four years younger. However the evidence of birth place and occupation suggest that this Edmund is the youngest son of Richardson and Hannah. Perhaps he reduced his age for the sake of his younger wife.

James William CROMPTON was born in the fourth quarter of 1894 (GRO ref: Fylde 8e 726).

Elizabeth died in the third quarter of 1924 (GRO ref: Fylde 8e 734).
In the fourth quarter of 1935 he married Doris LAWTON (GRO ref: Fylde 8e 1247). It is likely that Doris was born in the first quarter of 1984 (GRO ref: Ashton 8d 539) possibly 20 Ashton Street, Stalybridge, Cheshire, which is in the Ashton registration district. However, there is no obvious reason why a girl employed in the cotton industry should move to Fleetwood.

The 1939 Register shows Tom Pearson TOPHAM living in Fleetwood - the same name and town - registered with Margaret TOPHAM However, there is no obvious record of Rose Ellen TOPHAM's death. It is believed that the same Tom Pearson TOPHAM remarried Margaret KENYON in the third quarter of 1937 (GRO ref: Fylde 8e 2124). Tom died in the first quarter of 1969 (GRO ref: Fylde 10c 376). Margaret TOPHAM died in the fourth quarter of 1998 (GRO ref: Blackpool B2D 118).

Dorothy Jane died in February 1999 (GRO ref: Fleetwood and Fylde FY2A 5842 276). It is possible that James TAYLOR died in the second quarter of 1981 (GRO ref: Blackpool and Fylde 40 0514). There are no obvious TAYLOR /CROMPTON children registered in the Fylde area, where both parents were in 1939 and where they died. There are, however, several TAYLOR/CROMPTON children born in other parts of Lancashire.
Betsy CROMPTON was born in the first quarter 1909 (GRO ref: Fylde 8e 663). Both the GRO birth record and the 1911 census refer to her as Betsy. There is no obvious record of Betsy's marriage or death or an entry in the 1939 Register. The name Betsy derives from Edmond's being nephew to the husband of Betsy Ann CROMPTON née KINGSTON.
