Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: CRUMPLIN of Portsea and Portsmouth
« on: Sunday 04 September 11 13:23 BST (UK) »
Tom Piper posted a reply which included a reference to a certain R T Crumplin who was severely wounded in the South African War.
He was my great grandfather. Where does the reference come from please and are there perhaps further details?
Does anyone know how I can access information listed as held by Emily Lady Tennyson?
I found a reference to a bound copy of a speech given at Freshwater by Tennyson titled " Address to the people of Freshwater going to the Tennyson Colony in South Africa"on Google Books.
The same R T Crumplin together with his family and 24 other families, mainly from Hants, including his brother and his family, left England for South Africa aboard the ship The Arab in 1888 under the stewardship of Arnold White.
Any information leading up to this emigration would be most welcome.
I have a list of all the members of the group who arrived in South Africa but no details as to where they came from or what they did.
Incidentally R T Crumplin had been to America some time before and had got married there in Chicago to a Fanny Cobb ( also from Hants)
Their first child Georgina, my Grandmothers eldest sister having been born there in a town called Menominee, prior to them returning to Dogmersfield, where the family lived.
