Hi. My elderly relatives told me we are related to Samuel Crompton (of spinning mule fame!!). My great aunt told me it is through Maria Louisa Crompton. I have been able to find an index showing her birth but nothing else until she she married. I would appreciate any info regarding her, her parents, sibling ect

Thanks
Sam

Signature

Samuel Crompton (3 December 1753 – 26 June 1827) was an English inventor and pioneer of the spinning industry.

[edit] Early life
Samuel Crompton was born at 10 Firwood Fold, Bolton, Lancashire to George and Betty Crompton (nee Elizabeth Holt of Turton). Samuel had two younger sisters. While yet a boy he lost his father, and had to contribute to the family resources by spinning yarn. The defects of the spinning jenny imbued him with the idea of devising something better, and for five or six years the effort absorbed all his spare time and money, including what he earned by playing the violin at the Bolton theatre.

On 16 February 1780 at Bolton Parish Church, Crompton married Mary Pimlott (or Pimbley). They had eight children including George Crompton (born 8 January 1781), who followed in the family business.
