I think I've gone through all of my e-mail messages, and I believe I've now made all of the corrections and posted all of the transcriptions/translations I've received. Thank you again for all of your help on this project. I think the only part not yet transcribed is the bottom 1/3 of this page: http://lordoflucies.com/tng/showmedia.php?mediaID=750&medialinkID=1507 This was page 15 in the Crumpler2.pdf. I believe that all of the documents in Crumpler3.pdf are old friends that we've seen before: www.crumpler-family.com/Crumpler3.pdf There's a relatively modern will there for John Crumpler (1742) but I think I can read this. I thought of sending it off to a solicitor friend of mine to see what it actually means. The discussion of the origin of the Crumpler name is very interesting. Matt mentioned trying to find earlier examples of the name. The earliest ancestor we could find is John Crumpler: http://lordoflucies.com/tng/getperson.php?personID=I0898&tree=Walsh The published parish registers from Almer (Dorset) show his surname spelled in two different ways on the same page: Crumplere and Cromplere. Please see: http://lordoflucies.com/tng/showmedia.php?mediaID=720&medialinkID=1460 These are from the mid 1500's. I have some free time next week to travel to Dorset, etc. Any suggestions on where I might go to look for earlier records? I was going to look at the parish registers from Winterborne Kingston as a starting point. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks again for your help. Kind regards, Craig Craig W.
