Tompkins of West Sussex
« on: Friday 27 March 09 17:33 UTC (UK) »
Hi,

I've unearthed quite a bit about the Tompkins of West Sussex.  They lived around Arundel.  John senior, John junior and John Cole were all mayors of Arundel.  My great-grandfather, Charles Russell Tompkins left the farming tradition and became a mathematical  instructor on the training ship, HMS Excellent in the 1830s. He then became a clergyman eventually becoming vicar of St. Peter's, Southsea.
If anyone is related to these Tompkins or knows about them I would love to hear from you.
Another family line is the Hildyards.  My great-grandmother was Wilhelmina Hildyard who was brought up in Flintham in Nottinghamshire.  Again, if anyone has an interest in the Hildyards let me know.
Also the Irwin family of Rahenny in Dublin.
That's all I think - many thanks!!!

Vol. 71 pages 11-56 of the Sussex Archaeological Collections (published 1930) has an article by GW Eustace entitled "The Tompkins Diary".  It might relate to your lot.  I've not seen it, but it could be worth trying to find a copy in a library somewhere.
