My 2x great grandmother was born in Bloomsbury in 1825. On her marriage certificate, her FATHER'S name is given as Richmal.

My family were originally from Bury, Lancashire. Richmal is a common girl's name in my family. The earliest person I have found so far in my family tree with that name is the sister of my great-great grandfather. She was born in 1822 in Bury, Lancashire. My understanding is that it is originally a German derivative.

Even though this is a very rare name, up until the 20th century, this name was primarily used in the town of Bury in Lancashire, north-western England, which is where Richmal Crompton was born.
To be precise, around 84% of the 64 girls that were given this name between 1838 and 1915 in Britain, according to the FreeBMD Birth Index, were born in that town. Looking at the results from Ancestry, there are a couple of Richmals (on wide ranges of records) born in the 18th century and some of them also come from Bury. [noted -ed]
