 :o Well I have had a fascinating day after the help I have been given and I wondered if any Spittle/Crampton/Frier people had any ideas...

(Grandma) Rose Elizabeth Spittle (1880) is in theory the daughter of Harriet Frier and John H Spittle, BUT Harriet was originally married to Joseph Frier and appears on the 1881 census as a lodger of John Spittle's with a 6 month old Rose (L - ? Lizzy) Frier.  Harriet is marked as married[but not to John].  By the 1991 census she is down as John's wife and Rose is now also a Spittle.

I have been unable to find that Joseph died - infact I think he lived into the 1900's, so it looks like a bigamous marriage - although I havent been able to find a marriage cert for John and Harriet either.

Has anyone else come across this and researched in more detail before I break it to my husband that he is not Spittle descended at all!

Thank you to both of you - incredibly quick and incredibly kind

Funnily enough I managed to trace the Philip and Rose couple through Ivy Kathleen Crampton (one of their many daughters) which someone else had worked up - and they are the right couple, so have been working hard on the female line all day.

I am now trying to find a link to Mabel as I think there must be one somewhere

Thanks so much

Hi - I am brand new to this and hope I don't breach any etiquette.

I am researching my husband's family tree - his mother's maiden name was Crampton and her mother's maiden name was Spittle.  I am still waiting to talk to other family member's re anything they can remember but I cannot find anything about this marriage at all (Cradley area around 1910)  His mother's name was Margery Joan and I have many brothers and sisters for her too?

Can anyone help?  I see that 'Linell' and 'Jandap' know lots about Cramptons
