To continue the criminal theme, I found the following in the Huntingdon Gaol Register online:-
26 March 1872 - James R Culpin, St Neots, bricklayer, age 35, drunk & disorderly
I am pretty certain that he is the son of James Culpin & Harriet Markham and that makes him one of the family.
He was born in St Ives in 1837 and I found him in the previous year's census in Godmanchester, working as a bricklayer. That's what gave me the clue . . . !!
Fortunately these criminal Culpins seem to be very much in the minority but I will be able to produce a Staden who more than matched them in law-breaking. Walter Thomas Staden was on the Isle of Wight in 1901 . . . . in Parkhurst Prison, and not as a Warder!
