1-16-03 I wish I could be of more use to you. My Great Great Grandfather, Joseph Hampson arrived from England with a wife and two sons. He based himself in Newburgh, New York for reasons I still cannot determine. His wife died there and he remarried and then died there himself eventually. I have even gone to find his grave in the cemetery. The Library in Newburgh does have quite a good genealogy department. I am sorry that I can't be of more help to you. Cuyler Kidney

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/VUh.2ACIB/120 Message Board Post: Hi, My name is Brian James Hampson and I was born in Manchester, England 19th August 1944. My father was James Albert Hampson born 1914 and married in 1939 to Winifred Newton born 1915. My father had a brother named John and a sister whose name I don't know.

I hope someone of the HAMPSON line can tell me if someone they have a record of moved into the Tarrytown, NY area in time for my grandfather to meet a daughter named Laura Augusta HAMPSON. They were married in Feb of 1890 and lived in NYC until she died in 1906. I only know that she was buried in Kensico and she had a sister named Francine. Have heard there were half a dozen more siblings. Bob Telford, Long Beach, CA, USA

Hi Marianne The Hampson name is not that common. At the time of the 1881 census there were approx 5500 Hampsons resident in the UK. This is out of a population of about 30 million. Of the 5500 about 3500 lived in Lancashire. The rest were mainly in Derbyshire, Cheshire , London and Warwick. The general proportion seems to have changed slightly between 1881 and 1901, the populatin went up whilst the Hampsons stayed more or less the same.

Hi, I was told by a list administrator that our HAMPSON surname in England was/is very common.The limited information that I've collected over the last 20 years for my HAMPSONS has shown that to be true, along with very common 1st names.

Hello Listers, I hope all have a Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year - and more to the point - trace that missing ancestor <g>. I have two families I am interested in - this being the first: One member is Peter McDermid the second husband to Margaret Hampson, daughter of Henry Andrew Hampson and Jean Verbinia McIndoe. I have a photocopy of Margaret's death notice which is in the Osage City Free Press dated 19th February 1881: McDERMOTT - on Friday, February 13th, 1881, Mrs Peter McDermott, aged 55 years, she was buried from St Patrick's church on Saturday. She was a native of Scotland. Several Grown Children are left to mourn her. What I am trying to find out is: Was she visiting or did she live there. The phrase "native to Scotland" may indicate she was visiting, but then it may indicate just her place of birth. Who were the Children, and what happened to Peter? Anyone got any idea, or family record of Margaret? Cheers Walter -- Walter Hampson
