Hi Pauline I have been looking for a Charles WHITTLE in the Bury/Bolton area. 12/8/1846 Alice CROMPTON born to Mary C. No father recorded 7/12/1867 Alice C married George BROOKS, father (not recorded as deceased) Charles WHITTLE As the MC would be a contemporary event I am assuming that there was a Charles. Does this name ring any bells ? Peter Bridge (very definitely no RC connection) In a message dated 26/07/2011 09:03:51 GMT Daylight Time, Phodkinson@aol.com writes: Probably more Roman Catholics in Lancashire.

He was baptised on 10 Jun 1792 in St. Peter's, Bolton Le Moors Son of John & Elizabeth. I presume this Elizabeth to be BONSOR, there is a wedding for these POSSIBLE parents on 5 Apr 1778 in Ecclesfield, co. York. Some proof would be nice, but getting LDS films down here is a mission!

Hi I have a g-g-g-grandmother Harriet Crompton who married John Clough in 1795 at St. Peter's Church. Bolton. I have never been able to find her,but she died in 1820 giving birth to a son John. They must have had 6 children or more. In 1821 her husband John married Hannah Clarkson. Could anyone help me out. No one in the family has been able to find where she was from Donna Collinge Martens, Muskegon, Mi.

In the 1890 street directory he is at 38 Arbour St. His wife *Annie Strong Ibbotson* came from Colne. George, a noted rifle shot, died aged 62, 27 November 1911; his wife died aged 78. The couple were married in Southport on 24 September 1873 at Holy Trinity Church by licence by the vicar Jonathon Jackson. George’s trade is given as printer and his father’s name as Abel Crompton, grocer. Annie Ibbotson (the second name of Strong is not given) is a spinster and the daughter of Edward Ibbotson, painter. Witnesses were George’s brother Alfred Jordan Crompton and Mary Harrison. The painting of George is by his daughter Mabel. On the back of the picture it says: George Washington Crompton painted by Mabel A.E. Crompton at Brandon & Winnipeg 1916-1925 Manitoba, Canada, before at Manchester Chambers, Lord Street, Southport. Annie Strong (as she was named at birth) was born on the 28 October 1850 at Somers Place east in the sub district of Somers Town, Middlesex, part of the registration district of Saint Pancras, London. Her father Edward, describes himself as a painter, of 15 Somers Place East. Her mother is Mary Ann Ibbotson, formerly Strong. George and Annie would go on to have at least 11 children: sons Abel Ibbotson, George Washington (2) and Abraham Alexander, and daughters Mabel, Nora Sarah, Olive Middleton, Hilda, Annie Nesta (known in the family as Nesta), Clarice, Lucy and Mary. *Children of George and Annie Crompton * Mabel Ann Elizabeth, born 12 July 1874, Linden House Roe Lane, Southport: her father George is listed as a printer and stationer.

Abraham, Mabel and Nesta never married; Olive, Nora and Clarice married. Olive had children as did Nora and some of her descendants live in Australia. The 1901 census has Mabel, 26, art student Abel 20 printer’s apprentice, Clarice 18, George 16 printer’s apprentice, Annie 12. PRINTER AND PUBLISHER Details drawn from Southport electoral rolls show George Washington Crompton as a printer, bookseller and stationer in 1876 living at 109 Lord Street, with works at Princes Court House on Roe Lane. In 1886 he is at 81 Lord Street and is publisher of the Southport Standard. His residence was at The Elms, 31 Arbour Street. The newspaper, founded in 1885, lasted until 1899 and was one of a number of small papers circulating in the growing town of Southport, though the electoral rolls show that in 1893 the Standard was being run (owned?) by a William Crompton. George Washington however remained in business, as a printer in Arbour Street in 1899 which remained a family home until the late 1920s – early 1930s. No relationship to the William Crompton has been traced, so far. In 1881, the Southport and West Lancashire Banking Company collapsed, George Crompton, stationer, 109 Lord Street, is listed as a shareholder, as is Elizabeth Crompton 33 Adelaide Street, lodging house keeper. George Washington Crompton died 27 November 1911, aged 62, at 1 Marsden Road, Southport, from pulmonary tuberculosis, asthenia. The death was certified by J. F. Rimmer M.B, and witnessed by George’s son, Abel. Annie Crompton died aged 79 on 14 August 1929 at Hollins House, Hebden Bridge, at the home of her son-in-law John Sykes. They are buried in Southport’s Duke Street Cemetery.
