Crampton

[Lilym]

At a family gathering a Canadian relative asked if I could find the family of her great uncle.
Her gt uncle was Percival Crampton, born July 1897, Stainland, Halifax, the eldest child (I believe) of Walter and Annie.  I think Percival married Annie Mellor (b c 1900) in the 4th quarter 1921 in Bramley district and it was about this time that the family lost touch with him.  Research shows the couple probably had two children, Arthur in 1922 and Joyce in 1925 and that a Percival Crampton died in Leeds in the 2nd quarter 1955 aged 57. (Isn't it wonderful when there is an unusual name?) But with the many Arthurs and Annies I seem to have reached a dead end.
Any help would be appreciated.

The Joyce you mention, who was the daughter of Percy Crampton, is my late father's cousin and is still alive.

Hi Lilym,

Your Walter Crampton (1862) could well be the cousin of my great grandfather Mark Crampton (1854). I have Walter's parents as Nathan Crampton (1837) and Mary (1837). Nathan is the son of James Crampton 1800 (Crompton) and Betty Blackburn 1804 (Blagburn). My Mark is the son of Thomas Crampton (1824) and Betty Chadwick (1820), Thomas is also the son of James and Betty Crampton. James (1800) is the son of James Crompton (1770) and possibly Mary Buckley.

Rawrigds is Rawroyds - James Crompton (1800) died there in 1879, it is near Stainland/Outlane. James is buried in Outlane Church yard at the top end of the village with his wife Betty - along with some other Cramptons.
 
Swaite will be Slaithwaite, just over the hill from Outlane - pronounced locally as 'Slough it'.

I live in Huddersfield and have often wondered if there are any other Crampton/Cromptons in the area.

I am very interested to know if we have a link, I stumbled upon your post by putting Crampton and stainland into google.
