Wolverhampton history
The first record of the town is in 985 when King Aethelred granted lands at Heantune ('High Town') to the Lady Wulfrun. More Wolverhampton history will follow.
A history of Wolverhampton, Staffordshire and the Crump family
Home of Crump family from 1800s
On census returns, George CRUMP gives his place of birth as Wolverhampton in about 1803. As yet, I have been unable to trace his baptism. He married Mary Ann BIRD, which may have been his second marriage as there is an age difference and it's possible that some of the co-resident children on the 1841 census are George's children from a previous marriage. If only relationships were given on the 1841 census!
The Crump family seem to have worked mostly in the lock-making industry and lived in the centre of Wolverhampton, in the area around St Peter's Square and Charles Street.
