In the early 1800s there is a William Crick paying land tax, and also receiving rent, bit none of the records state where the land is, other than Ampthill, and in a couple of cases Maulden, at this stage I  my guess is that it is his uncle. 

1850s a William Crick is on the electoral register owning a property in Dunstable street
