Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: Harwood family
« on: Wednesday 30 November 11 11:56 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you very much indeed for letting me know this news.

I remember Charlie (at school he was Freddy) very well, Doris being a year or so younger than me and Freddy a year or two younger than her.  This was at Elvetham Primary School (if it still exists) at Streetend.

At Streetend 'Aunt Win' had the corner cottage (with a deep ditch, where she kept ducks!) and I think she would have been the daughter of another older Harwood brother, Doris's uncle.

Yes!  I had been trying to remember the name but yes, it was Herbert.  He was a very quiet, gentle, man;  someone had provided a tandem for him, and Win and a few other people took turns taking him for a ride around.  He made the most beautiful bicycle baskets which lasted for years and years.

Did you know anything about another Harwood, he had a withered arm and lived in Portsmouth;  Win knew him well, I don't think he was her brother, I think he was another cousin.

Thanks again,     Edna

Really fascinating information, but not mine;  my Crumplins are Hartley Wintney, Winchfield, possibly also Crondall and Elvetham.  My grandfather William George (1864-1916) was in the army, possibly Hants/Sussex Foot, ?1880-?1893, and spent some time in India, but I can find no information about this period.

Hello - first time poster - hope this is in the correct place.

I have been researching my grandmothers family name - CRUMPLIN.  The family are from Hartley Wintney and surrounding villages in Hampshire and so far I have linked about half the CRUMPLINs who appear in the FreeBMD registrations.  I have noticed another group of about 50 CRUMPLINS registered in the Portsea/Portsmouth area between 1837 and 1901.  There is a good chance that the Portsea CRUMPLINs are linked to the Hartley Wintney CRUMPLINs as it is a fairly uncommon name.  The link is going to be before 1837.
Anybody interested in the same name or point me towards the missing link?
Thanks in anticipation

I am researching Hartley Wintney Crumplins, my grandparents.  You might try Thomas, 1796, married Ann Lovelock 1819
He married twice (Mary Ann Sutton) and had several sons, one, William, my great grandfather.
I lived in Portsmouth but never encountered  any Crumplins;  any possible link must have been truly lost by then.

Armed Forces / Re: 19th century Army Records
« on: Monday 25 July 11 10:44 BST (UK)  »
My grandfather WILLIAM GEORGE CRUMPLIN was in the British army from 1885 to 1895 (roughly) and served part of his time in India.  All papers disappeared when my g.mother died so I have no other information, apart from the fact that he was born in 1867.  Any suggestions where I might start looking, please?

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: Ellen CRUMPLIN (nee GOULD) b cir 1868

Thank you Sandy.

I have obtained a birth certificate for Ellen Taphouse Gould, born 5th November 1867 in Elvetham, registered by mother Ann Gould on 11th December 1867.

I also have a birth certificate for Ann, born 13th June 1851 in Elvetham, the daughter of James Gould and Charlotte Gould formerly Wyeth, registered by Charlotte Gould (who made her mark) on 22nd July, 1851.  There is a Charlotte Wyeth born Hampshire 1835.

Also there is a marriage certificate for 6th April 1895 for Ellen Gould, spinster aged 27 and William George Crumplin, 31, bachelor, labourer, in Hartley Wintney, fathers' names William Crumplin and Thomas Gould, both labourers.  TGC is my grandfather;  Thomas Gould I cannot find anywhere.
Witnesses, Charles Crumplin and Kate Turner.

In the 1891 census, Charlotte Turner (57, laundress, widow) is living at Cricket Green (which is significant) with her daughter Alice (15, general servant), Eleanor Gould (23, laundress, grand-daughter) and William Gould (1, grandson).  [ was Kate Turner possibly a daughter, away in service?  The census shows a Kate Turner maidservant at Yateley, nearby.]

I am still collecting;  no doubt it will eventually make sense.

Thanks very much, all very helpful.

I thought again about the name Taphouse and, in the next census, discovered a Solomon Taphouse, 18 year old private soldier, listed under Hartley Wintney ..........  the plot thickens!

Although her birth certificate gives no name for father, her marriage certificate gives her father as Thomas Gould, but I can find no trace of him.

The witnesses  were Charles Crumplin (I think he was a brother, large family, have not yet checked) and Kate Turner;  the only Kate Turner I can find was a 17 year old servant in Yately.  I am struggling, any help gratefully accepted!

Thank you;  yes, I have been given details of Will's memorial in France, and also on the Hartley Wintney Memorial.

I believe my grandfather was the child of Thomas Crumplin and his wife Ann Lovelock, and that he had a number of siblings;  Sarah, Mary, Emma, Sophy, Hannah, Henry, (then William), Betsy and George.

It looks as though he married again, to Mary Ann Sutton, and had two stepdaughters, Sarah and Ellen Sutton.

There were certainly Suttons in Hartley Wintney when I was there during the war, and it is possible that some of these names occur also.
