Draft 21
This is the current draft (No 21 of June 2025) by Mike Murtha my co-researcher in Canada. The ID numbers are being given to all known Crombleholmes/Crumbleholmes (& all spelling variants).
The format in the text of the website (ie attached to each family member recorded) is : [Cro0000] but numbers only are used in the listings below. The ID numbers are for whose born as C's and also to a wife(s) marrying into the family (nee - her maiden name given when known).
The Associated Names section (next section) lists maiden names and also names of husbands marrying female C's. Please use the "magnifying glass symbol" (top RHS of all pages) search facility to find ID numbers / persons / names / places etc and any other reference within the whole website.
Crombleholmes/Crumbleholmes and associated names
This is a working document, subject to ongoing revision. The names are derived from the Crumbleholme family website: https://sites.google.com/site/crumbleholmefamilyhistory/ and a variety of published and online sources and from various archives.
Yellow highlighting indicates revisions since the last draft.
Red indicates other family names associated with the Cro/umbleholmes e.g. the maiden names of wives and the names of husbands. The list is based on the Cro/umbleholme name, not genetics; it does not track the subsequent families of Cro/umbleholme women whose maiden name disappears from the record. The associated names are listed after the Cro/umbleholmes.
Groupings are approximate; as new names are uncovered they are added to the Errata sections.
We have recorded all the names that we have found, generally until the middle of the nineteenth century. By then the family had expanded considerably and spread to many more locations; and after that period records are much more readily available – civil records began in 1837 and census records in 1841. The records of several branches have been collected by other researchers and are linked on this website. For each name on this list we have created a digital folder containing the source material which we have used to identify the individual. Where possible we have identified family relationships.
There are dozens of variant spellings of the name, sometimes in the same family, and it is not possible to investigate all of them. An example is the well known Samuel Crombleholme (479 in this list) whose burial record spells his name as Cromland.
We still need to compile and list family members from Ormskirk and a few miscellaneous areas.
We also keep a queries page where we keep things that need sorting out !
There is also a link to a subsidary website where individual data sheets for each individual are being created. This is still very much work in progress !
