Looking for any information on (and family) JohnW CROMPTON of Rivington Hall. Bolton Evening News March 24, 1905 THE well-known and respected occupant of Rivington Hall, Mr J. W. Crompton JP, passed away suddenly last night, death being attributable to heart failure. In private circles, and as a Justice of the Peace, he was noted for his kindly disposition, with a marked tendency to leniency. A Liberal in politics, he was ever staunch to the programme of progress and reform and was president of the Westhoughton Division Liberal Association for the years 1891 and 1892. His business interests included ownership of property at Little Lever, a part of which is now occupied by Messrs Potter's chemical works. Derek Crompton crompton@one-name.org London South- East
