Am new to this list and researching James COMPTON. There seem to be a lot of COMPTONs in Bucks so was hoping some of your listers might help. Working backwards... my James COMPTON died in Staffs in Hanbury, aged 33, in 1880. His SECOND wife was Emma; married her in Burton-on-Trent when he was a 28 year old widower. I think he must have been born abt 1847 but can't find him on 1837online, nor FreeBMD. There was a James COMPTON married to a Hannah with a son George aged 4 on the 1871. James born Castlethorpe. Wonder if this was his first wife? Can anyone help? Suzie

Suzie, There is indeed a James COMPTON both in the 1851 census (aged 7) and the 1861 census (aged 17) and both in the Castlethorpe/ Wolverton area. I am happy to pass on detailed information to you about this person, but I am curious to know why you feel he is a Bucks person - what evidence to you actually have?
