Gina Bays: Hi! and Welcome! You didn't give your place of origin, so I'll give mine. My grandmother was Laura Augusta Hampson born in 1865 in, I believe, Tarrytown, NY. I have no information on her parents or her siblings and would like anything I can find. If you are in UK, you might know (or find out) about Hampsons who migrated to the USA. If so, let me know. Bob (Robert Sheldon Telford) in Long Beach, CA

Hi Gina, you were added to the List, but as the subscribe messages don't get sent to the List itself, they just get you added as a recipient, I have forwarded this to the List for you. If you'd like to expand on your line/areas of interest please feel free to do so. -- Cheers, Anne ICQ# 32010967 (nickie) mailto:Anne.Nichols@ukgateway.net Rootsweb ListOwner: Docwra, Dockery, Garton, Hampson and Schofield still hunting Nichols, Martin, Fletcher, Ford, Chandler

Hi List, The above was born 27-Nov-1805 in TN and died 27-Jul-1876 in Putnam co. OH. She married Edward S. Corning before 1838. I need help finding her parents and siblings. Any info would be great. Thank you. Don Miller,

I am unsubscribed; I don't know why I got this. Instead of generating all that return e-mail, from concerned subscribers, why not include the Symantec URL in your first message? http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w95.mtx.html We presume the virus has been infecting very large numbers of people on your mailing list.

Hi fellow listers, Whereas virus alerts are not normally sent to the Lists, as List Admin I've been made aware of a nasty virus which has affected some people who sub to other Rootsweb Lists (and which a friend received from her sister) and due to it's difficult nature has proved hard to detect/remove. The a/v filters at Rootsweb should prevent the virus, which has various names although most commonly known as MTX,(also known as: W95.Oisdbo,W95.MTX.dr,W95.MTX(.dll)from reaching any subscriber. You may, however, receive it from elsewhere and be unaware of what it is. To help anyone affected or worried about this I have detailed information and cleaning instructions obtained from the Symantec anti-virus website database, and if you would like a copy please contact me offlist at Anne.Nichols@ukgateway.net and I'll forward them straight away. I shall also upload them to a webpage over the weekend in case someone needs them urgently whilst I'm not about.

Hi everyone, I received this recently and felt it was worth passing onto the list as a timely reminder to name those photos before it's too late. With many thanks to Diane on the Hampson list for sending it to me. The Strangers In The Box Come, look with me inside this drawer, In this box I've often seen, All the pictures, black and white, faces proud, still and serene. I wish I knew the people, these strangers in the box, Their names and all their memories, are lost amongst the socks. I wonder what their lives were like. How did they spend their days? What about their special times, I'll never know their ways. If only someone had taken time, To tell who, what and when, These faces of my heritage would come to life again. Could this become the fate of the pictures we take today? The faces and the memories, some day to be tossed away. Make time to save your pictures, seize the opportunity when it knocks, Or someday you and yours could be, The Strangers In The Box. -- Cheers, Anne ICQ# 32010967 (nickie) mailto:Anne.Nichols@ukgateway.net Rootsweb ListOwner: Docwra, Dockery, Garton, Hampson and Schofield still hunting Nichols, Martin, Fletcher, Ford, Chandler

HAMPSON came to Kennebunkport, Maine, USA around 1820. (This came from a book on the History of Kennebunkport, Maine). It says he was a mariner (sea captain) from England. He married Olive CLOUGH on 18 September 1829 in Kennebunkport, Maine, USA. He died sometime between 1843 and 1850. (I have been unable to find his death record anywhere). The 1850 census lists his wife living alone, and when Olive Clough HAMPSON died 14 November 1875 she is buried in Biddeford, Maine, USA along with her married daughter. John W. HAMPSON is not buried in the same grave. (He is a mystery). I have records for the children of John and Olive HAMPSON, one of which, Charles H. P. HAMPSON, born 28 May 1843 in Kennebunkport, Maine, USA is my great great grandfather. Any information would be helpful. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from anyone out there. Jane D.

Hi fellow listers, As the list is pretty quiet at the moment, can I ask you to please post or repost your interests, so that we know who's looking for whom, and see if any of us are chasing the same people..? To set this off, I'll add my Hampsons, what few I have found so far... John HAMPSON married Lydia(?) YATES 2 October 1820, Radcliffe, St.Mary (LAN) One known son James HAMPSON, born about 1834, Pilkington, Radcliffe (LAN) married before 1868? to Sarah A. (surname unknown, born abt. 1841, Pilkington, Radcliffe LAN) Five children: Martha HAMPSON born abt. 1868, Radcliffe (LAN) married William (Billy) Lomax born abt. 1860, died abt.1940 Jack HAMPSON born abt.1870, had two children Jack HAMPSON and Ada HAMPSON Billy HAMPSON born abt.1871 (known as Billy-Pegleg) Charlotte HAMPSON born abt.1873, died 1960, Red Bank Hostel, Radcliffe (LAN) Herbert HAMPSON born 1878, died 3 March 1954, age 76, married 22 September 1897, Radcliffe, St. Andrews (LAN) to Grace FLETCHER born 29 May 1875, Hebden Bridge Toll Bar, Yorkshire, died 3 February 1942, age 66 Five children: James Norman HAMPSON born 18 October 1900, Radcliffe (LAN), died abt.1947 married (1) Annie and had 6 children, no details.(2) unknown, had two further children, no details. May have moved to Southend-on-Sea, Essex. Doris HAMPSON born 1901, died before 1960 married to Richard WOODWARD one daughter Irene WOODWARD born March 1929, married Frank, had two sons Stewart and Graham. Doris and Richard WOORWARD ran a haulage business R&D Transport at some time.

Arnold HAMPSON born 17 August 1915, died 23 August 1987, both Radcliffe, married 5 August 1987 Lena Brown, died September 1998. As most of what I have so far comes from verbal memory, some certificates handed to me by my mother, and a search of the census for 1881 it's not much yet, but I am just started on this line. -- Cheers, Anne ICQ# 32010967 (nickie) mailto:Anne.Nichols@ukgateway.net Rootsweb ListOwner: Docwra, Dockery, Garton, Hampson and Schofield
