Hello Margaret No, there is no connection between Hampshire & Flintshire which as you rightly say, is in Wales. The message about the Record Office ws posted for general information to save anyone on the list a wasted journey to Wales if perhaps they were pursuing their mobile Hampshire relatives. To try and help you though, the 1901 census for Harry ( professional cricketer living in Ormskirk) shows clearly he was born in Ireland. Also, he would not have been in South Africa in 1881 for the Boer War - this event did not take place until the late 1890's HTH Linda & Tony
