Thanks Maddy for the PM.

I had found the Gazette entry when the younger one changed his name by Deed Poll.

Was going to order an image of the 1986 death but they are only available up until 1957. Would have to be him I think, no other Cripps born on that date that I can find.

Thanks Maddy.

Can't access the British Library Newspapers at the moment otherwise I may have found those.

If the second child was adopted then it seems likely that the elder one was as well, seeing as neither of them are in the 1939 with their parents.

What was the death date for Arthur in 1949?

Thanks

Arthur Christian CRIPPS married Alison Lillias Jessie PEARETH in 1933 in Paddington.

According to FreeBMD there was a male CRIPPS birth registered at Hove in Sep qtr 1935 with the mmn of PEARETH. Do not think he is still alive but will not post his name just in case.

Arthur and Alison are in Exmouth in 1939 register, with his sister Violet, but no sign of said child, either with them or anywhere else.

Can't order birth cert on GRO as 1935 not on there yet.

No sign of a death for said child on GRO from 1935-1939.

There are no other CRIPPS/PEARETH marriages.

Arthur CRIPPS died at Eton, Bucks., in 1949 and Alison in Bideford, Devon in 1953.

Can anyone assist please.

Thanks

There don't appear to be any matches on ScotlandsPeople for a Ewen death in 1873 or a Catherine in 1888.
