Have you tried searching for Ruth under the variation spelling of Stapylton?

Hi Janis,
Thank you very much for your prompt response!
I know, from my relative Dawn doing her genealogical book (James Rattray and his Descendants in South Africa) that we did come from the Stapletons originally.
Perhaps this could help you - I see the name Joseph in here? http://nltaylor.net/things/rpt_Stapleton.htm

Hi Malcolm,
Thank you for such a prompt response! I live in South Africa
Dawn is related closely to my maternal grandfather, Denys Stapylton-Adkins. I'm not sure how exactly but I think they may be first or second cousins or something of that sort!
It's all very interesting because I know that my great-grandfather (Denys' father) actually changed his surname from Scullard to Scott in the early 1900s, and am wondering why!
We must be related somehow, Malcolm! How wonderful to 'meet' you!
Kind Regards,
Jenna

Bedfordshire / Re: Adkins / Atkins / Stapleton in Ampthill Shillington
« on: Thursday 10 May 18 14:59 BST (UK) »Hi
I am trying to find out what happened to William Adkins / Atkins (b circa 1845 in Ashwell, Herts) and Ruth Adkins / Atkins nee Stapleton (b circa 1859 in Stondon, Bedfordshire) . They are in the 1881 census at Ampthill Shillington with their son Joseph. They have another son Alfred born in 1884 and another son Herbert born in 1886. By 1891 the 3 boys are in the Ampthill workhouse. They are discharged from the workhouse in early 1900 and are all on the 1901 census living on their own in seperate locations. I have the workhouse records that are available for the family. The parents are never mentioned as living in the workhouse. I can't find them on the 1891 or 1901 census. The surname "Adkins" is used by the family until the workhouse and then the boys start using "Atkins". I have looked in the GRO for deaths but don't see any that really fit. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks
I know I am late on this thread but hoping you still see this. Do you know if William and Ruth marrying produced the surname Stapylton-Adkins (my surname)?

Hi there!
Sorry to jump onto your thread here -but I am a Stapylton-Adkins, related to Dawn, and am very interested in tracing my (maternal) heritage.
I know she did print the book, but I only ever saw it in the family.
Do you perhaps know of how the Stapylton came to be attached to Adkins?
Thank you very much!
Jenna
