  Birth	1892  [2]
  Gender	Male
  Occupation	Farmer  [3]
  Notes	Hubert Crumpler remembered his father telling him about the finding of the "Bulbury Bull", a small Celtic bronze charm in the shape of a bull. His father was one of the men draining the earthwork at Bulbury Camp, Lytchett Matravers, before it was ploughed in the late 1870s; an iron anchor and chain were found with it, and they are now in the Dorset County Museum. In 1881 antiquarians found the bull nailed over a cottage door as a charm to cure a sick boy. (Shirley Percival, A Dorset Village: Lytchett Matravers, 1982, page 2.) The book does not name his father; in this tree he is George Edwin Osmond Crumpler, born 1846 in Lytchett Matravers. Birth year uncertain: this tree has 1892, but Bob Vine has Hubert, son of George Edwin Crumpler, born 1883 at Lytchett Matravers (genealogy.bobvine.nz, person I2464). Neither date has a source attached here yet; the 1891 and 1901 censuses should settle it.
