The CRISP Family of
Nottingham & London
Name probably derived from personal traits,
such as hair character.
I have conducted a local One Name Study for
this Nottingham family name which includes London & Leicester connections
where proven or known. The connection between Nottingham and
London is likely to be one due to trade, but may also suggest older London roots for this family.
Roots currently traced back to John CRISP, gentleman, and
his wife Jane who married before 1686. There were CRISP
families in Nottingham in the C20th, who may be descendants. The 1881
distribution of the name (above) clearly suggests an East Anglian origin.
Descendants mostly recorded at the Chapel
Gate Meeting House, High Pavement, in the City of
Nottingham, i.e. mostly Quakers.
Notes:
Baptism of John's son, Nathaniel CRISP
not in transcripts of High Pavement 1690-1723.
Castle Gate Meeting House was built in 1689, but earliest
surviving register dates from 1705. Hence no baptisms for sons Nathaniel
and Maidwell.
Notts Marriage Index 1754-1812: no other entries for lateral
family members.
There are no CRISP marriages at the church of St Nicholas.

Nathaniel CRISP, the Elder:
The Burgess* Roll for Nottingham records Nathaniel, framework
knitter, as enrolled in 1717. His qualification was servitude by
serving an apprenticeship to a Nottingham Burgess, enrolment
usual taking place upon completion around the age of 21. The Roll
indicates that he was allotted a Burgess Part. He was apprenticed
to George EATON of Nottingham in 1710, as s/o
John of Nottingham, gentleman, deceased, noted as a framework
knitter 'of London'**. The indenture was subject to a tax of £6. He does not appear in the Index of
Apprentices kept by Notts Archives Office.
[* a Burgess is a Freeman of the
borough.]
[** this suggest Nathaniel's baptism may be found somewhere in London]

Nathaniel "The Bishop"
CRISP:
[Presumed to be the man who married Fanny HORSELEY
in 1789]
From "Notes About Notts. A Collection of Singular
Sayings, Curious Customs, Eccentric Epitaphs and Interesting
Items, Historical & Antiquarian" by Cornelius BROWN,
Nottingham, 1874. p.63:
"BISHOP CRISP: This
individual was one Nathaniel CRISP, a butcher, who carried on business at
the corner of Lister-gate and Broad-marsh. He was the principal baptiser
during the famous duckings at Nottingham in 1794, the Leen and the canal
served as the Jordan, in which the baptism by immersion took place. The
sprinkling process was performed chiefly at the Exchange pump, whilst the
spectators sung - "We'll pump upon them till they sing, Upon their
knees, God save the King". "The Bishop" was convicted at the
Spring Assizes of the following year for his riotous conduct during the
ducking season, fined a nominal sum, and imprisoned for six months. He died
in May, 1819."
