Hello Listers My research brings me to Worcestershire In the 1871 census an address is given as what looks like : Parish of Little Hampton Park Farm, Great Hampton Worcestershire It must have been quite a large farm for those days as it covers an area of 306 acres. My problem is............. i cannot find Great Hampton, Little Hampton or Park Farm on any maps on the web. Does anyone know of Park Farm? Does it exist today? The family name of the farmer is FIRKINS Any help wouold be much appreciated. Regards Derek the Man from Kent

Hi Derek Having been born in Little Hampton and spent my first 28 years there you had me bewildered as I had never heard of Park Farm. However there may be a slight chance that it is now called Hampton Park Farmhouse and is the headquarters of a boat hiring firm called "Challenger Syndicateship". Look at www.challengershare.com . The address is Red Lane Hampton and is on a narrow track that leads from Hampton to Charlton. Look at www.streetmap.co.uk coordinates 402500, 244500.
