Please remember that genealogy is an art, a science, and to some degree a guess. Even the most thoroughly researched lines around will have astonishing errors and gaps, and even some frauds. This page, of necessity, puts a lot of trust in what others have found about how they are related to the Cromptons, though it sometimes adds up the information differently. If you are checking for your own heritage, this page should help you look in the right places, but it is no substitute for your own research, nor is it intended to be.
