The Crunkhorn family are mentioned in the first Chapel Centenary article as stalwarts of the Methodist Church, and I personally remember Daisy Crunkhorn, a widow I beleive, from the late 1960's and 1970's when the Methodist church had moved to it's present location in Birchtree Avenue.

In the 1911 Census JD Crunkhorn from the article is listed with his family.

  • John Dickenson Crunkhorn, head, 39, Farm Labourer, born in Fishtoft, Lincs.
  • Sarah Anne, 37, wife, married 16 years, 7 children 2 of whom have died. Born in Sibsy Lincs.
  • Edith Mary, Daughter 13, born Fishtoft, Lincs.
  • Ethel,11, daughter born in Dogsthorpe.
  • Alice Hilda, 8, daughter, born in Dogsthorpe
  • John Clifford, 4, son, born in Dogsthorpe
  • Doris Margaret, 3, daughter, born in Dogsthorpe.

 

So we can tell that the Crunkhorns moved to Dogsthorpe from Fishtoft Lincolnshire in about 1899.

John Clifford married Daisy Briers (1906 - 2002).

In the 1901 Census

John Crunkhorn is living in Newborough Road, with his wife Sarah Anne, and Edith and Ethel. He is working as a cattleman on farm.

George Meadows says "John Crunkhorn told me that he used to go on trips with Jack Collins, collecting and delivering local produce. He and the cottage are mentioned in John Crunkhorn's book Memories of Dogsthorpe."

John was the son of John Clifford and Daisy Crunkhorn.

Another gem from John's book:

" A room at the rear of the premises (the Bluebell) was used as the local mortuary and my Grandmother (Sarah Anne Crunkhorn) and her friend Mrs Jinks used to do the local 'layout' of bodies for the village, using pennies on the eyelids to ensure eyes were closed."
