John did run away to sea for three years, and according to The Life and Times of Samuel Crompton of Hall-in-the-Wood, by Gilbert J. French. (on Google Books) Was shipped wrecked. He landed back at Woolwich. In a distressed state, without money or change of clothes. So the walking back north, sounds possible. The strange thing is that watching them land without knowing it was Samuel Crompton himself. French wrote, nor was it until some months afterwards that father and son discovered how near they had been to each other at a time when mutual recongnition would have been so useful to one and delightful to both. [This was when Samuel was in London, pleading for some cash for developing the Mule spinning technology.] Derek Crompton London south-east no attachments to this e=mail //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////.

Derek Do you know where his home town was?. I have a Peers Crompton but a generation earlier. Peers is an unusual name, but our lot was quite religious and if I remember rightly Peers Crompton was a former minister at Deane Church, Bolton; our local parish.

Derek, Which aspect are you following? I understand that after the sinking of HMS Prince of Wales the surviving marines were drafted into a unit of the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders to take part in the defence of Singapore, and were then taken prisoner on the fall of Singapore. They were referred to as the "Plymouth Argyles" as Prince of Wales was a Devonport ship. A few years later I served with a seaman survivor of Prince of Wales who had been drafted to another RN ship in the area. If you want further info there are a lot of experts on the World War 2 mailing list worldwar2@rootsweb.com.

As you are all too aware, the list is down and has been for nearly 2 weeks. I was away all last week and though I had hoped it would be back by my return, I was to be disappointed. The list runs on a server at the University under the control of Phil Stringer. My guess is that he is away on holiday as he cannot be contacted either by e-mail or by his home telephone. I have my fingers crossed that he will get back this next week and all will be well. In the meantime, if you have other list members with whom you are in contact, perhaps you could pass this message on. Thanks for your forbearance.

Copy of message from the Bolton list With the List Admin's kind approval I'd just like to let any members of this list who are also subscribed to the MLFHS list know that the MLFHS list went down one week ago on Thursday due to a technical problem. The latest information from Clayton House today is that the problem is being worked on and the list will be restored as soon as possible. The first sign of progress will be that messages will start to appear. Test messages should probably be avoided, please, in the meantime.

Parents were Ann or Hannah Crompton nee Farrell, born in Ireland, and Joseph Crompton born in Darcy Lever, Bolton, c 1826. Joseph was a carter (flour) and died in 1885 in an unmarked grave in St Stephen’s, Lever Bridge . I have the parents marriage, but apart from Margaret the marriages of the other three brothers are a complete mystery, as there are so many Cromptons in Bolton . Margaret married Matthew Seddon (my wife’s great grandfather), Matthew was to die with two of his sons in the Pretoria Pit disaster, and several other family members. Margaret died in 1941 in Bolton, and is in the same grave as her dear husband . ........... Note I have edited out personal information. Since I have not asked permission to copy to this list. See the "Old Pals" page for them. Derek Crompton London south-east
I see there is a page on the opc- Rivington, Lancashire about Lord Leverhulme. http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/Rivington/index.html Although the CROMPTON name is mentioned. There is nothing about this line of the family nor of his wife ElizabethEllen HULME connection. Derek Crompton London south-east

Derek I have a Birth Certificate with that address dated 26jan1849, and a Death Certificate dated 2apr1849. Plus Catherine, James & Mary Anne Crompton lived at "Spring Gardens" at the time of the 1841 Census. But there is another family there for the 1851 Census. Mary Crompton's (wife of James Crompton, the son of Catherine) immigration record in 1855 also says that she was from "Spring Gardens", and James & Mary's Marriage Certificate says that they were both from "Spring Gardens".
