Hi Judy,

I know it has been several years since anyone posted on this thread but I wondered if you ever found the William Cumpstey' you were looking for as one has cropped up in my tree.

In the 1901 census, there were three Williams who were born between 1888-1894:
William Cumpstey   9   Lanc Chorley   Lancaster   Chorley   Juvenile
William Cumpstey   9   Lancs Fulwood   Lancaster   Fulwood   Juvenile
William E Cumpstey   11   Lancs Liverpool   Liverpool C B   Toxteth Park   Juvenile

The second one who was living in Fulwood with his father John (a tallow chandler) and his wife Ada (nee Jones) is distantly related to me through the Jones family of Staffordshire. There were at least two other children: Percy who died after the battle of Somme, and John who married Gertrude Cowell.

Sound at all familiar?
South Africa, St Helena, Ireland, Scotland, England

Yes thank you, I have traced my William Cumpstey back quite a ways.    Your William age 9 is probably of the line of:
William b. c1741 Pilling m. Ellen Hesketh
s. John Latus Cumpstey b. 1777 Dinckley m. Betty Eastman
s. John Latus Cumpstey b. 1798 Dinkley m Jane Ormerod
s. John Latus Cumpstey b. 1826 Salesbury
 
My William is a distant cousin through Newsham Cumpstey b. 1769 Dinckley m. Alice Hanson.
