I haven't worked on this family in awhile but I have her birth as 1801 if that helps . Judy

Faye; I haven't worked on the Hampson family for a long time but I went back and looked I have Edward and Mary Spooner Hampson as being married September 12, 1820, and I have Mary's birth as 1801 or 1802, certainly nothing positive but a place to start, if you hear the same date from someone else. Judy

Faye; I don't have what you looking for but I was surprised to see that this is my Hampson family you are looking for, I do have a list of Edward and Mary's children if you don't already have it. Judy

Regarding the marriage, I took it to be Manchester Cathedral too, given the use of "Cath." in the context of location 'Manchester'. You're probably right about Hart Street and Manchester. In hindsight, given the marriage occurred in Manchester, presumably the street address would also refer to Manchester. No progress on Jonathan's baptism. bye Maxine

I guess 'Manchester' means the Cathedral? I haven't found a Hart Street in Stretford yet - if there was one once, it's not there any more. There's certainly one in the centre of Manchester - that area was mostly late Victorian warehouses and clothing manufacturers; I guess it could have been housing at one time. Best wishes Ian

Ann married William Smith on 13 March 1859 at Manchester. First marriage for both parties, bride 20 yrs and groom 22 yrs and a labourer. Parents of the couple are Jonathan Hampson and William Smith, who are both described as labourers. Address given for Ann was 30 Hart Street, presumably Stretford?, and Stretford given for William Smith. Witnesses to the marriage are George Banks and Margaret Hill. Both bride and groom signed their mark. Re - baptism of father, Jonathan Hampson, I have ordered a film of the BT for St Matthew's Stretford, but it may take awhile to arrive. best wishes Maxine

John William was born 30 September 1859 and registered in the sub-district of Stretford within the Reg. District of Barton on 25 October 1859. Father, William, is described as 'brickmaker'. The notorious address of Diamond Court is certainly encouraging. Grandparents, Jonathan & Catherine Hampson also resided there. bye Maxine

I understand your logic. The 2 baptisms in 1807 and 1813, if they refer to the same parents, probably suggests that the first child died. But, I'm assuming that the parents of each child are the same. I agree with your point about Jonathan's eldest son and daughter being named after their paternal grandparents. Unfortunately, Jonathan's first son, as far as I know, is our William. The John Hampson you refer to (1851 census of Jonathan's household) is actually John Hulme, whose mother is Catherine (Brundrett) Hulme, then Hampson and his father is John Hulme. John Hulme Snr is Catherine's first husband and Jonathan Hampson is her second husband. John is Jonathan's step son. As far as I can tell, John Hulme was conceived whilst Catherine was married to John Hulme Snr in 1831 and Catherine married Jonathan Hampson in late 1833. I took a similar path to yourself and worked out that Jonathan was born about 1804 in Stretford. I used the 1851 and 1861 census plus Jonathan's death certificate. I have a transcription of St Matthew's Stretford, including baptisms up to 1812. Oddly, I have no Hampson baptisms at all for 1804 but plenty of Hampson baptisms are present either side of that year. This could mean I missed the entry, the film I used did not include the page which contained Jonathan's entry, the entry is significantly out of date order in the register or the parish clerk lost his piece of paper and the register is incomplete (or none of the above!). However, I have not checked the BT so it is possible that his entry may be present there. Sometimes the BT may correct errors found in the register. The closest baptism I could find at St Matthews is 12 June 1803, John son of William & Ann Hampson of Stretford, which coincidentally are the names of Jonathan's eldest male and female children. One or 2 baptism entries mention Pool End, Stretford. Pool End sounds familiar and I think William & Mary Hampson may have resided there for one census year, or it could have been one of their male descendents. I can't remember at the moment but Pool End may not be significant. Unfortunately, I also have a burial entry for John Hampson of Stretford, aged 83 yrs, on 23 June 1886. It is true that I don't know whether these 2 entries refer to the same person, but it is not encouraging. So, I intend to order a film of the BT within the next 1- 2 months. Hopefully, I'll find his baptism entry there. If not, we may have to try and another religion. P.S I don't know why John Clough (b.1852 Stretford) did not use his father's surname of Hulme. (His parents married in 1853 and his mother died 1853/4). It may suggest that John Clough's maternal grandparents had a significant influence on his pre-adult years rather than his father. Possibly, John Hulme's 2nd wife (m. 1854) was unable or unwilling to care for a toddler, as well as, the child may have developed a relationship with his grandparents. It may have been more convenient for all concerned for John Clough to stay with his grandparents. However, this is only speculation. We may never know. bye Maxine

It may be nonsense, and worthy only of filing under 'straws, clutching at', but I thought I'd run it past you. It's frustrating that Jonathan's birth doesn't appear in the IGI, when Stretford PRs seem to have been included (yes, he could have been a methodist, but bear with me). Then I remembered Jonathan Hampson's marriage entry in the parish registers, and how it said 'John' before being altered to 'Jonathan', so I checked on Family Search for a John Hampson born in Stretford in around 1806. And lo and behold! A John, born in 1806, was christened on 15 Feb 1807. He was the son of John and Ann Hampson. So 1: the birth year appears to be correct; 2: Jonathan's first born son was named John; his first daughter was christened Ann, ie after his 'parents' 3: John is sometimes used as an abbreviation of Jonathan Against this, there is a second John, also a son of John & Ann, christened on 7 Nov 1813, which might imply that the child christened in 1807 had died. What do you think?? Deep down, I suspect coincidence, but you never know. Best wishes Ian
