Find Ancestors

Thanks for this information....sorry it has taken so long for me to get back in here... we are nearing the end of our financial year and that means stocktake and I own a bead shop- so you can imagine what I have been doing all day LOL

I did actually start to wonder today if there was another nationality or country involved in this.....

I will look into it further.

Again, thank you, I do appreciate all the help :)

I came across this the other night might be of interest i hope

Surname: Culpan
This unusual name is believed to be of Scottish origin and to derive from the Lands of Colp near Turriff in Aberdeen. The name development would seem to be from David Colp recorded in Aberdeen in 1503 to Culpin or Culping a patronymic variant which means "the son of Colp". Found in London in the 17th Century as Calpin it is first recorded in 1689 and as Calpen in 1709, whilst the modern spellings include Calpin and Culpan. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of George Culpin. which was dated 1673, married Hanna Gott at St. Mary le Bone, London during the reign of King Charles 11, known as "The Merry Monarch", 1660 - 1685. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Oohh, Mrs Bucket, that birth registration tempted me to have another look this evening (tried the other night and turned up nothing at all...) - but looking for Cha* and Sar* in Peterboro in 1861 stumbled across this family:

Name: Charles Culpin
Age: 42
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1819
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Sarah
Gender: Male
Where born: Warmington, Northamptonshire, England

Civil Parish: Newborough

Occupation:

Condition as to marriage:

Registration district: Peterborough
Sub registration district: Crowland
ED, institution, or vessel: 8
Neighbors: View others on page
Household schedule number: 26
Household Members:
Name Age
Catherine Culpin 2
Charles Culpin 42
Emma Culpin 14
Esther Culpin 10
John Thomas Culpin 7
Mary Elizabeth Culpin 5
Sarah Culpin 43
Sarah Ann Culpin 16

[Edit - no, prob little mileage in this, the boy is too old to be the 1856 registration]

[Edit - Looking again at Culpin* as a surname, all this really shows is that this surname is linked to the Peterboro' area, so that a child might well be given this name as a forename for one reason or another]

Thanks :)

Hi again Lynn

Sorry for delay as i went to bed....

If you want to buy a BMD cert,heres how and here
is the addy where you can buy it online... (copy n paste the following...)

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/


(tip)Never pay more than £7
(another tip) for a marriage,you only need
put one partners name when ordering.

If you are ordering online from the GRO,
make sure that when the form asks
"Is the full GRO reference known?"
that you tick the "yes" box.

Be very careful about websites that charge more!

Good luck

Gerri x

Thanks everyone :)


Mrs Bucket, how do I buy them?

looked everywhere sorry not to be found


Tracy

This line has been a major stumbling block for me.... I just cannot find correlating information on Culping or any of the other family members.

His son Leslie (who is my great grandfather) has his fathers name listed on his marriage certificate as James....

This is the only thing coming up with the Christian name of CULPING....

Births Dec 1856

Ashworth Culping Peterbro 3b 137

Maybe his Mother was married before??

I think you need to invest £7 on buying this birth cert.......I know i would if he was mine!

Tracy,

I was trying to find his parent's names before, but I now have that info and am trying to expand on that :)

i have seen this name before some where have you had a search on this before

Tracy

That's ok.... Thanks for trying :)

PS.... Culping is such a mystery that he hasn't even died LOL

Sorry Lynn

I cant find anything on a CULPING SPRING....anywhere.

Gerri x

I have been given other variations though and have his death certificate listing him as James Spring.....

This is what I am finding so hard. I have spent since January trying to even find his parent's and only got that info in the mail this morning.

Mrs Bucket- I have it on his marriage certificate and all his childrens birth certificates.

Lynn

Where did you get the name of 'CULPING JAMES SPRING'?

Nothing is showing for that name on Ancestry anywhere...any time...

Simply because it is 10:39am on Thursday- not the middle of the night when I have nothing else to do but sit here and wait.

I also didn't expect to get responses to quick because it is the middle of the night over there!

Which one is yours????

I don't have an exact birth date for Charles...

The child born in 1856 was named Culping James Spring.


Thankyou for your patience :)
