Well done, Rose. I didn't even think of her being baptised in England.


Though there are Oxford Crapper families in 1851 so this may not be your family. They're probably related.

Deaths Sep 1851
CRAPPER Henry Headington 16 38

1861 cencus for Oxford state that Masha Crapper was born castle bar
Henry born town of Basse and on another Kings county Kildare
Mary Nuna Ireland. (guessing this could have been our Henry 10yrs . We know he was born 1851/52
There are many crappers in Oxford and many Henry, etc.
The father was not on here.

This is an old thread of yours but you already know his parent's names:

Rose

Carol, if you knew 1861 already why didn't you tell us? Then we wouldn't have spent time looking.

Ozi

And what about this one?

I doubt you'd get any medical records as they would have been destroyed once the practice ceased to function.

If he was on an electoral roll, it probably won't have his birth place.

ozi,
I never said before because the people on there are not definite . That is not a confirmation to what I am requiring.
My cousin found a marriage of a Mary nocton marrying a William crapper 1849 Killaloe. may have been my great great grand-father? (soldier, Limerick ) the name of Mary Nocton was the middle names of Henrys daughter Cecilia Mary Nocton. The father was listed as Henry senior , a cloth cleaner. Cloth cleaners were in Oxford . I know our Henry and Annie were married 1876 there. There is no fathers name on birth cert. just a long line. I agree and most likely it all fits BUT my original question was " can I get any records from Henrys work, medical etc. (forest Gate) that might have given me a correct date of birth." You hear and see of those old records on Who do you think you are. The cencus say Kildare, Kings county.
I have been in touch long ago with a man that went to the Ireland parishes looking for Henrys birth. The papers in Ireland, I was told were destroyed in 1940 (war)
I even went to Ireland last year and saw an old barracks closed by the MOD. Hoping locally to find records.
None of this is true without the correct birth of Henry.and parentage written on it. Yes, it does read that Henry is most likely to be the son of William soldier and Mary Nocton. (he would have been born in Ireland)
I am sorry you think I wasted peoples time. I have a distant cousin in Australia who has done a book on the crappers. He has an Oxford web-site. He did not know about my Henry. It is a complicated one. I gave him all those details. He has so many contacts and no-one can solve it. I do know as well, that a William was born in 1817 to Henry and Fanny Crapper. cloth cleaner.

How-ever once I was in contact with a Crapper who is a librarian and she applauded my exactness. So once again sorry for any inconvenience. The birth cert. cannot be obtained. With that I will have my conclusive proof.

I shall not persist any more with the look ups for Crapper. as I have been hurt by the comments of "wasting time
Carol.




,

I'm very careful with what I say on these boards as people get so easily offended. I didn't say 'wasting' time. I just said we wouldn't have looked it up. Also I gave some thoughts on other records, so trying to help.

Please don't use my remark as an excuse to stop searching. You've obviously done a lot of work so far but we, reading this post, didn't know about it.
