CROMPTON James born 16 August 1796. Son of James CROMPTON & Elizabeth ? Christened 11 Sep 1796 Rochester, Kent, ENGLAND. Would like to establish a link between this James CROMPTON and the James CRAMPTON whose name was recorded as CROMPTON for the birth of his first child. CRAMPTON James born 1796 Canterbury Kent, ENGLAND (Ref. England Census 1851 & 1861). 1841 Census says born Middlesex. Why would he state Middlesex? Married Mary Ann LAMBERTH 17 Nov 1834 Saint James, Paddington, London. Occupations: cabinet maker, gentleman's servant, carpenter, labourer. CROMPTON James & Mary Ann: baptism of son Robert James CROMPTON 29 May 1836 (b. 3 Sep 1835). Abode (1835-1839): 19 Hertford Street, St. Marylebone Middlesex. Robert James possibly died in infancy. CRAMPTON: additional children of James & Mary Ann (hereafter named CRAMPTON) included: Mary Ann (1837-1839), Eliza (1839-1909), William (1842-1900?), Edward (1845- ?). Both William & Edward used the name CROMPTON later in their lives. Any earlier information e.g. marriage or more children for James CROMPTON & Elizabeth (Rochester Kent, ENGLAND) would be greatly appreciated. Robina QLD, AUSTRALIA
