Note for:   Thomas CRIBB,   BEF 1744 -          Index

---

Individual Note:
     A Thomas Cribb was Lord Nelson's head gardener at his house in Merton, Sry. in 1805; He was clearly a man of some importance to Nelson who discussed with him directly what work was planned and required for the estate.
According to biographer Christopher Hibbert in his personal history of Nelson, Thomas Cribb informed the vice-admiral about September 1805 that Mrs. Cribb was about to give birth to her first child (Hibbert does not state which Mrs. Cribb, obviously assuming it was his wife). Nelson, who was fond of children, gave him some money for the christening gown, asking him to name the child Horatio if it was a boy and Emma if it was a girl.
From the IGI, Ann Newham had what seems to be her 8th child baptised as Mary on 20th October 1805 at Merton, the day before Nelson was killed at the Battle of Trafalgar. An Emma Cribb was baptised at Wimbledon 24th November 1805, the daughter of Francis Cribb & Hannah, although this was by no means her first child either. Merton & Wimbledon are adjacent parishes a very short walk apart.
They are now of course part of South London's urban sprawl, but were then surrounded by open fields, Mitcham is the next one on.
The two Cribb families mentioned are highly likely to have been related as there were few Cribbs in Surrey at the time. Thomas Cribb married Ann Newham, 10.1.1792 in Clapham Holy Trinity (a mile or two up the road towards London and
probably Ann's parish of residenc before Marriage).
An Ann Cribb married Edward Asprey, 18 July 1819 in Southwark St. George.
