    On the 16th January 2008 I heard from a Christopher with information about this family full details can be found on RUMPH Chart 0400
    1901 Census - ? Queensgate?, Barnsbury, Islington, London 
    1911 40 Enkel Street, Holloway N
  2. 1881 71 Bermerton Street, Thornhill, Islington, London.
    1891 Census - 91 Winchester Street, Islington, London. With the family was a Minnie SWAN aged 21 married born Islington, London and Albert SWAN a Visitor aged 1 born Islington, London.

    On the 16th January 2008 I heard from a Christopher - "I thought you might be interested to know I am related to the Rumph family that is on your chart Setterfield 0329. Sophia Rumph's brother William (aged 8 in the 1871 census) was my great-grandfather. His father Henry died in 1872 and his mother Rose in 1900. William, who was born in Bethnal Green on 14 Sep 1862, served in the Royal Navy 1877-88, visiting Egypt and Australia amongst other places, before settling in London as a gas fitter. Around 1895-6 he married Emma Elizabeth Shapland (whose family originally came from Devon), and had a number of children including my grandfather, Harold William H Rumph, born in Islington in December 1898. Harold served in the Army during WWl before following his father as a gas-fitter, finally retiring from more than 40 service with North Thames Gas in 1963. Around 1925 he married Margaret Georgina Edwards, of Holborn, and had four daughters, the eldest being Margaret Elizabeth, my mother, born in Dagenham on 20 January 1929. Harold died in 1965, Margaret Georgina died in 1988, and my mother died in 1974" 
    On the 20th January 2008 I received additional information from Christopher. Full details can be found on RUMPH Chart 0400 
    1891 Census - 91 Winchester Street, Islington, London. There is a Betsey SHAPLAND aged 55 a widow an Office Cleaner born Somerset, with her is Emma aged 18 a Boot/Book? Finisher born Islington, so I think this is the Emma who married William, (mother from Somerset, so near to the Devon idea) also with them was a George SHAPLAND, son aged 13 a Errand Boy 
    On the 29th January 2008, Christopher sent the following additional information, which I will incorporate into the chart back for Emma SHAPLAND: Emma Elizabeth Shapland (1872-1950) certainly was born (and died) in Islington, but it was her father's family that came from Devon and her mother's that came from Somerset. Her father was John Shapland, born Knowstone, Devon around 1829 (died Islington 1878) and her mother was born Betsy (or Bessy) Richards, at Carhampton, Somerset on 17 November 1834 (and died in Islington in 1910). John Shapland's father was also John, and was born around 1799 at High Bray, Devon (and died in Barnstaple, Devon in 1882), while his mother was Mary, born at Knowstone, Devon around 1803, and who died at Barnstaple in 1880. I'm not sure how much of this I have conveyed before, but I thought I had better send this info just in case. Betsy Shapland's parents in Somerset are recorded in! the Carhampton Parish Registers as William and Jane Richards, and all their other children died young, but I have no other info on this family. 
    1930 40 Enkel Street, Islington N7 (London Electoral Roll) Emily Elizabeth RUMPH is with her daughter Ruby and her husband. (London Electoral Roll) 
    1939 40 Enkel Street, Islington N7 (London Electoral Roll) Emily Elizabeth RUMPH is with her daughter Ruby and her husband. (London Electoral Roll)

    1901 Census -  Islington, London 
    1911 40 Enkel Street, Holloway N
    1920 56 Etherley Road, Tottenham, Haringey, London (at marriage)
    1929 54 Etherley Road, Tottenham, Middlesex (London Electoral Roll)
    Information for Arthur SHAPLAND (I think Arthur must have been a cousin, as Hilda's mothers name was SHAPLAND and at marriage Arthur and Hilda were living next door to each other) I believe Arthur was the son of Arthur SHAPLAND and Martha Hamilton GILL on SHAPLAND Chart 0400.
    1920 56 Etherley Road, Tottenham, Haringey, London (at marriage) Father Arthur SHAPLAND Signalman G.N.R.
    There were the following children with the name SHAPLAND and the mothers maiden name as RUMPH who must be children of this couple.

    1911 40 Enkel Street, Holloway N
    There were the following children with the name RUMPH and the mother maiden name was EDWARDS who I believe must be children of this couple, although the last one in Somerset it was the war and I assume they must have been evacuated to this area.

    Information from Christopher Schimtz for this child

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
