I wonder if this could be an altered form of Shimpling. There are two villages of this name, one in Norfolk the other in Suffolk. Paul Reaney cites two instances of Shimpling as a surname, both 14th century, both Norfolk. That surname doesn't appear to have survived. Shrimplin, not common anywhere, is best represented in Norfolk at the 1891 census.
