In his father's will of 1846 and codicil of 1847 Edmund was to receive a legacy of £45 on reaching the age of 25 years. With the exception of Thomas Richardson CROMPTON's eldest son John, who received the real estate, Edmund is most frequently mentioned child. The codicil names Edmund CROMPTON, a draper of Kingston-upon-Hull, as one of the three executors.
Edmund has not been found in the 1851 census index of Ancestry, Genes Reunited or EYFHS. He is not in the Flamborough census.
His marriage certificate records him as a warehouseman, with a residential address of Cheetham Co., Lancaster. A long way to travel from Driffield! There is no obvious on-line reference to Cheetham Co., however, Chetham is/was a district of Lancaster.

The witness John KINGSTON is now Edmond CROMPTON's brother-in-law. They may have been childhood friends or near neighbours.
Edmond died in Nafferton in the second quarter of 1855 (GRO ref: Driffield 9d 157) the same year as his marriage. The 1861 census shows Betsy Ann as a widow living with her brother. Had their been a child by Edmond and Betsy Ann's marriage, I believe it would be shown in this census as a Crompton. There is no record of a Kinston child born between the 1851 census and Betsy Ann's marriage in 1855.

The relationship between the CROMPTONs and the KINGSTONs
There is a close but as yet unknown relationship between the CROMPTONs and KINGSTONs. Both families are farming families from Flamborough, suggesting they knew each other from the locality and their occupation. As well as Edmund's friendship with James KINGSTON, there was a close relationship between Richardson and Hannah CROMPTON. The census show that on two occasions the two families had adjacent farms.

In 1861, Richardson and Hannah CROMPTON's first child was boarding as a scholar with the KINGSTON's in Bridlington Quay. This may have been a simple matter of there being no appropriate school for a farmer's son in Flamborough. However, the choice of a KINGSTON as 'guardian' is significant. Though recorded as 'nephew' there is no known family connection to Sarah KINGSTON, born 1800, being a CROMPTON. Liz Vine suggests the enumerator should have recorded 'great nephew'.

Liz Vine's (researching the Huddleston tree) suggests that Sarah KINGSTON (née Clubley) of the 1851 census was Betsy Anne's step-mother. Sarah died in the third quarter of 1862 (GRO ref: Bridlington 9d 71). Liz wonders whether this is the connection with Stephen Clubley CROMPTON's middle name.
Liz Vine (researching the Huddlestons) suggests that the relationship was blood rather than location and occupation. Hannah PICKERING married Richardson Crompton and Richard Huddleston. In 1841, the approximately 10 year old Hannah PICKERING was living with Sarah CLUBLEY, her aunt, on the Promenade in Bridlington Quay. Sarah CLUBLEY, born in Holy Trinity, Hull on 19 July 1799, was the second wife of James KINGSTON. Liz now thinks that Ann PICKERING, née PHILLIPS, who was Hannah PICKERING's mother, and Sarah KINGSTON née CLUBLEY née PHILLIPS were sisters. This would also account for the closeness of the CROMPTON/HUDDLESTON and KINGSTON families and the use of the CLUBLEY name. At this moment the family tree looks like ...

With thanks to the research of Liz Vine who is researching the Huddlestons.
His death
The letter of Thomas C. WILSON, grandchild of Thomas CROMPTON, born 1803, to Mary Agnes TIBBITS, nee CROMPTON, dated North Dalton 23 February 1912 states 'Edmond who died early and has three daughters and he died in Nafferton and is buried there he would die about 1848 or so.' However, Edmund died in the second quarter of 1855 (GRO ref: Driffield 9d 157). The three(?) children were by Betsy Ann KINGSTON's second marriage.
